fix unbalanced page refcounting in bio_map_user_iov
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user do unbalanced pages refcounting if
IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
bio_add_pc_page merges them into one, but the page reference is never
dropped.
