So looking at the original patch, it does:

-       while (sdio->head < sdio->tail)
-               put_page(dio->pages[sdio->head++]);
+       if (dio->is_pinned)
+               unpin_user_pages(dio->pages + sdio->head,
+                                sdio->tail - sdio->head);

so yes, we're this looks correct:
