Pretty sure we don't need this put_pages flag. We can either check
ba->base.base.pages or refcount_read(&bo->base.pages_use_count). Or,
even better, if it's just used in the error path of the same function,
simply have a dedicated error path for that case:

	drm_gem_object_put(obj);
	return 0;

err_put_pages:
	if (!is_heap)
		drm_gem_shmem_put_pages(shmem);

err_put_bo:
	drm_gem_object_put(obj);
	return err;
}

This one can be replaced by

	if (!is_heap || bo->base.base.pages)
		drm_gem_shmem_put_pages(&bo->base);
