Subject: [PATCH] Revert "vfio/type1: Unpin zero pages"

This reverts commit 873aefb376bbc0ed1dd2381ea1d6ec88106fdbd4.

This was a heinous workaround and it turns out it's been fixed in mm
twice since it was introduced.  Most recently, commit c8070b787519
("mm: Don't pin ZERO_PAGE in pin_user_pages()") would have prevented
running up the zeropage refcount, but even before that commit
84209e87c696 ("mm/gup: reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings")
avoids the vfio use case from pinning the zeropage at all, instead
replacing it with exclusive anonymous pages.

Remove this now useless overhead.
