Thanks Vlastimil! This is my fault, I failed to verify that the code in
my tree, Andrew's tree and what Oliver tested were the same so no wonder I
could not find where the missing unpin was. I've gone through mm-unstable
commits be42c869b8e..4143c9b5266 and can confirm that they are now identical
to my own tree which includes Andrew's fix for the smatch warning that
Dan reported.

# git diff HEAD^..mm-pcpspinnoirq-v6r1-mmunstable | wc -l
0

The only difference between my tree and Andrew's is that there is a head
commit for "mm/page_alloc: Do not disable IRQs for per-cpu allocations"
which has been put on hold for now.
