I think we need to fix that (in the patch inverting the polarity) and
only set the flag where it is needed.

All eventually calls come from the direct I/O code in the block layer,
iomap, legacy generic and zonefs, and they release pages that came
from some form of hup.  So we can just set BIO_PAGE_REFFED in
bio_iov_iter_get_pages and dio_refill_pages.
