This commit, to be precise:

commit 873aefb376bbc0ed1dd2381ea1d6ec88106fdbd4
Author: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>

     vfio/type1: Unpin zero pages
     
     There's currently a reference count leak on the zero page.  We increment
     the reference via pin_user_pages_remote(), but the page is later handled
     as an invalid/reserved page, therefore it's not accounted against the
     user and not unpinned by our put_pfn().
     
     Introducing special zero page handling in put_pfn() would resolve the
     leak, but without accounting of the zero page, a single user could
     still create enough mappings to generate a reference count overflow.
     
     The zero page is always resident, so for our purposes there's no reason
     to keep it pinned.  Therefore, add a loop to walk pages returned from
     pin_user_pages_remote() and unpin any zero pages.


BUT

in the meantime, we also have

commit c8070b78751955e59b42457b974bea4a4fe00187
Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri May 26 22:41:40 2023 +0100

     mm: Don't pin ZERO_PAGE in pin_user_pages()
     
     Make pin_user_pages*() leave a ZERO_PAGE unpinned if it extracts a pointer
     to it from the page tables and make unpin_user_page*() correspondingly
     ignore a ZERO_PAGE when unpinning.  We don't want to risk overrunning a
     zero page's refcount as we're only allowed ~2 million pins on it -
     something that userspace can conceivably trigger.
     
     Add a pair of functions to test whether a page or a folio is a ZERO_PAGE.


So the unpin_user_page_* won't do anything with the shared zeropage.

(likely, we could revert 873aefb376bbc0ed1dd2381ea1d6ec88106fdbd4)
