This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario (DMA/RDMA),
using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's time to convert
the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to pin_user_pages*() +
unpin_user_pages() calls.
There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part
of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file
systems' use of those pages.
