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.
