I have spotted it while tracking down how page reference are taken
for bio and how they are release. In the current code, once the page
are GUPed they are never release if there is any failure, on failure
cifs_aio_ctx_release() will be call but it will just free the bio_vec
not release the page reference.
Page reference are only drop if everything is successful.
So this patch move the page reference droping to cifs_aio_ctx_release()
which is call from all code path including failure AFAICT and thus page
reference will be drop if failure does happen.
Cheers,
Jérôme
