There are four locations in gup.c that have a fair amount of code
duplication. This means that changing one requires making the same
changes in four places, not to mention reading the same code four
times, and wondering if there are subtle differences.

Factor out the common code into static functions, thus reducing the
overall line count and the code's complexity.

Also, take the opportunity to slightly improve the efficiency of the
error cases, by doing a mass subtraction of the refcount, surrounded
by get_page()/put_page().

Also, further simplify (slightly), by waiting until the the successful
end of each routine, to increment *nr.

Why don't you pass in already pages + nr?

Aha, that does save a function argument. Will do.

I don't find this last helper very useful. It seems to muddy water more
than necessary...

Yes, I suspect it's rather unloved, and the fact that it was hard to accurately
name should have been a big hint to not do it. I'll remove the helper and
put the lines back in directly.

Other than that the cleanup looks nice to me.
