Subject: [PATCH v7 20/24] powerpc: book3s64: convert to pin_user_pages() and put_user_page()

1. Convert from get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages().

2. As required by pin_user_pages(), release these pages via
put_user_page(). In this case, do so via put_user_pages_dirty_lock().

That has the side effect of calling set_page_dirty_lock(), instead
of set_page_dirty(). This is probably more accurate.

As Christoph Hellwig put it, "set_page_dirty() is only safe if we are
dealing with a file backed page where we have reference on the inode it
hangs off." [1]

3. Release each page in mem->hpages[] (instead of mem->hpas[]), because
that is the array that pin_longterm_pages() filled in. This is more
accurate and should be a little safer from a maintenance point of
view.
