3.16.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Hannes Reinecke <h...@suse.de> commit e791ce27c3f6a1d3c746fd6a8f8e36c9540ec6f9 upstream. Once the reserved page array is unused we can reset the 'res_in_use' state; here we can do a lazy update without holding the mutex as we only need to check against concurrent access, not concurrent release.
