[PATCH] unpaged: sound nopage get_page

Browse Source 
Something noticed when studying use of VM_RESERVED in different drivers:
snd_usX2Y_hwdep_pcm_vm_nopage omitted to get_page: fixed.

And how did this work before?  Aargh!  That nopage is returning a page from
within a buffer allocated by snd_malloc_pages, which allocates a high-order
page, then does SetPageReserved on each 0-order page within.

That would have worked in 2.6.14, because when the area was unmapped,
PageReserved inhibited put_page.  2.6.15-rc1 removed that inhibition (while
leaving ineffective PageReserveds around for now), but it hasn't caused
trouble because..  we've not been freeing from VM_RESERVED at all.
