[PATCH 5.10 032/141] vfio/type1: Unpin zero pages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit 873aefb376bbc0ed1dd2381ea1d6ec88106fdbd4 ]

There's currently a reference count leak on the zero page. We increment
the reference via pin_user_pages_remote(), but the page is later handled
as an invalid/reserved page, therefore it's not accounted against the
user and not unpinned by our put_pfn().

Introducing special zero page handling in put_pfn() would resolve the
leak, but without accounting of the zero page, a single user could
still create enough mappings to generate a reference count overflow.

The zero page is always resident, so for our purposes there's no reason
to keep it pinned. Therefore, add a loop to walk pages returned from
pin_user_pages_remote() and unpin any zero pages.
