It's just that the logic seems weird with BIO_NO_PAGE_REF and BIO_PAGE_PINNED
being kind of opposite polarity.

Anyway, see attached.

iov_iter, block: Make bio structs pin pages rather than ref'ing if appropriate

Convert the block layer's bio code to use iov_iter_extract_pages() instead
of iov_iter_get_pages().  This will pin pages or leave them unaltered
rather than getting a ref on them as appropriate to the source iterator.

The pages need to be pinned for DIO-read rather than having refs taken on
them to prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent
fork() (the result of the I/O would otherwise end up only visible to the
child process and not the parent).

To implement this:

 (1) The BIO_NO_PAGE_REF flag, if unset, indicates the page needs putting
     or unpinning.

 (2) A BIO_PAGE_PINNED flag is added.  If set, this causes attached pages
     to be passed to unpin_user_page() during cleanup instead of
     put_page().

 (3) BIO_NO_PAGE_REF and BIO_PAGE_PINNED are both cleared by default when
     the bio is (re-)initialised.

 (4) If iov_iter_extract_pages() indicates FOLL_PIN, then BIO_PAGE_PINNED
     is set; if it indicates 0, BIO_NO_PAGE_REF is set; and if it indicates
     FOLL_GET, then neither flag is set.  If it indicates anything else, a
     WARN_ON_ONCE will be triggered and BIO_NO_PAGE_REF will be set.

     Mixed sets are not supported - all the pages must be handled in the
     same way.

 (5) Cloned bio structs have BIO_NO_PAGE_REF as they don't own their own
     pages.

 (6) bio_release_pages() will do the release if BIO_NO_PAGE_REF flag is
     not set.

[!] Note that this is tested a bit with ext4, but nothing else.
