The recently-added i915_gem_object_pin_map() can be further optimised
for "small" objects. To facilitate this, and simplify the error paths
before adding the new code, this patch pulls out the "mapping" part of
the operation (involving local allocations which must be undone before
return) into its own subfunction.

The next patch will then insert the new optimisation into the middle of
the now-separated subfunction.

This reorganisation will probably not affect the generated code, as the
compiler will most likely inline it anyway, but it makes the logical
structure a bit clearer and easier to modify.

As this is a very, very confused loop.

I tried that approach before, but it was actually more difficult to have tidy error-checking that way (remembering that we must always free the pages array, so don't really want an early return).

Here, putting the vmap() inside the final iteration of the loop means that we automatically leave "addr" as NULL if we don't reach the expected count. The subsequent WARN_ON() tells us that this has happened, but we don't then have to base any further branching on this condition (i != n_pages) as "addr" is already right. (Obviously, we don't want to do the vmap() if we have exited the loop with the wrong page count).

I'll post the other version, but I think the post-loop checking is messier, to such an extent that this way round is simpler overall.

.Dave.
