[PATCH v5 10/25] mm/mm_init: Move p2pdma page refcount initialisation to p2pdma

[Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>]

Currently ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts are initialised by core
memory management code in __init_zone_device_page() as part of the
memremap() call which driver modules make to obtain ZONE_DEVICE
pages. This initialises page refcounts to 1 before returning them to
the driver.

This was presumably done because it drivers had a reference of sorts
on the page. It also ensured the page could always be mapped with
vm_insert_page() for example and would never get freed (ie. have a
zero refcount), freeing drivers of manipulating page reference counts.

However it complicates figuring out whether or not a page is free from
the mm perspective because it is no longer possible to just look at
the refcount. Instead the page type must be known and if GUP is used a
secondary pgmap reference is also sometimes needed.

To simplify this it is desirable to remove the page reference count
for the driver, so core mm can just use the refcount without having to
account for page type or do other types of tracking. This is possible
because drivers can always assume the page is valid as core kernel
will never offline or remove the struct page.

This means it is now up to drivers to initialise the page refcount as
required. P2PDMA uses vm_insert_page() to map the page, and that
requires a non-zero reference count when initialising the page so set
that when the page is first mapped.
