Higher order pages allocated using alloc_pages() aren't refcounted and they
need to be refcounted, otherwise it's impossible to map them by KVM. This
patch sets the refcount of the tail pages and fixes the KVM memory mapping
faults.

Without this change guest virgl driver can't map host buffers into guest
and can't provide OpenGL 4.5 profile support to the guest. The host
mappings are also needed for enabling the Venus driver using host GPU
drivers that are utilizing TTM.

Based on a patch proposed by Trigger Huang.

Well I can't count how often I have repeated this: This is an absolutely clear NAK!

TTM pages are not reference counted in the first place and because of this giving them to virgl is illegal.

Please immediately stop this completely broken approach. We have discussed this multiple times now.

Regards,
Christian.
