I also think this code is never called. IIRC, in order to split the 
on-demand paging patch-set we had an intermediate mode called "on-demand 
pinning", where the driver would only support page faults, but not 
invalidations. In this mode the page references are taken when a page 
fault occurs, but are held until the MR is released. As far as I know no 
driver uses this mode, so it is probably safe to remove it.

The thought behind this interface was that invalidate_range callback 
would either be set or cleared during the per mm or the umem creation, 
so it is stable between the map and unmap calls. If it was set during 
map, then the page reference is immediately released there, so there's 
no need for another put_page in unmap.
