Subject: [RFC] mm: Optimise put_pages_list()

Instead of calling put_page() one page at a time, pop pages off
the list if there are other refcounts and pass the remainder
to free_unref_page_list().  This should be a speed improvement,
but I have no measurements to support that.  It's also not very
widely used today, so I can't say I've really tested it.  I'm only
bothering with this patch because I'd like the IOMMU code to use it
