From: John Hubbard <jhubb...@nvidia.com>
Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page().
This provides a safe way to update all get_user_pages*() callers,
so that they call put_user_page(), instead of put_page().
Also adds release_user_pages(), a drop-in replacement for
release_pages(). This is intended to be easily grep-able,
for later performance improvements, since release_user_pages
is not batched like release_pages is, and is significantly
slower.
Subsequent patches will add functionality to put_user_page().
