Fix dio_bio_alloc() to set BIO_PAGE_PINNED, not BIO_PAGE_REFFED, so that
the bio code unpins the pinned pages rather than putting a ref on them.

The issue was causing:

WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 2220 at mm/gup.c:76 try_get_folio

This can be caused by creating a file on a loopback UDF filesystem, opening
it O_DIRECT and making two writes to it from the same source buffer.

Fixes: 1ccf164ec866 ("block: Use iov_iter_extract_pages() and page pinning in direct-io.c")

Does the comment still hold?

- bio_set_flag(bio, BIO_PAGE_REFFED);
+ if (dio->need_unpin)
+ bio_set_flag(bio, BIO_PAGE_PINNED);
sdio->bio = bio;
