mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pages
An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and especially
the "put page" aspects of it. In order to keep everything clean,
refactor the devmap page release routines:
* Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(), and
limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool, with no side
effects.
* Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle decrementing
the refcount for ZONE_DEVICE pages.
* Change callers (just release_pages() and put_page()) to check
page_is_devmap_managed() before calling the new
put_devmap_managed_page() routine. This is a performance point:
put_page() is a hot path, so we need to avoid non- inline function calls
where possible.
* Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(), and
limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap page.
This is originally based on a separate patch by Ira Weiny, which applied
to an early version of the put_user_page() experiments. Since then,
Jérôme Glisse suggested the refactoring described above.
