Correct way to release get_user_pages()?

From: Roland Dreier

Reading through the tree, I see that some callers of get_user_pages()
release the pages that they got via put_page(), and some callers use
page_cache_release(). Of course <linux/pagemap.h> has

#define page_cache_release(page) put_page(page)

so this is really not much of a difference, but I'd like to know which
is considered better style. Any opinions?

Thanks,
Roland
