Harish Chegondi 04a646df12 IB/hfi1: Fix the bail out code in pin_vector_pages() function
In pin_vector_pages() function, if there is any error while pinning the
pages or while adding a pinned buffer to the cache, the bail out code
needs to unpin any pinned pages that are not in the cache and adjust the
n_locked counter that counts the total pages pinned. The current bail
out code doesn't seem to be doing it right in two cases:

1. Before pinning required pages for a buffer, the SDMA pinned buffer
cache is searched to see if the virtual address range that needs to be
pinned is already pinned. If there isn't a hit in the cache, a new node
is created for the buffer and is added to the cache after the buffer is
pinned. If adding the new node to the cache fails, the n_locked count is
decremented properly but the pinned pages are not freed. This commit
fixes this issue.

2. If there is a hit in the SDMA cache, but the cached buffer doesn't
have enough pages to cover the entire address range that needs to be
pinned, the node for the cached buffer is extracted from the cache,
remaining pages needed are pinned and added to the node. The node is
finally added back into the cache. If there is an error pinning the
extra pages, the bail out code frees all the pages in the node but the
n_locked count is not being decremented by the no of pages in the node
that are freed. This commit fixes this issue.

This commit fixes the above two issues by creating a new function that
frees the pages in a node and decrements the n_locked count by the
number of pages freed.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
