The patch titled
Subject: memremap: Fix reference count for pgmap in devm_memremap_pages
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-defer-zone_device-page-initialization-to-the-point-where-we-init-pgmap-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-defer-zone_device-page-initialization-to-the-point-where-we-init-pgmap.patch

Subject: memremap: Fix reference count for pgmap in devm_memremap_pages
In the earlier patch "mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the
point where we init pgmap" I had overlooked the reference count that was
being held per page on the pgmap. As a result on running the ndctl test
"create.sh" we would call into devm_memremap_pages_release and encounter
the following percpu reference count error and hang:
WARNING: CPU: 30 PID: 0 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155
percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0xf3/0x120
This patch addresses that by performing an update for all of the device
PFNs in a single call. In my testing this seems to resolve the issue
while still allowing us to retain the improvements seen in memory
initialization.
