3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vitaly Mayatskikh <v.mayatskih@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 95d78c28b5a85bacbc29b8dba7c04babb9b0d467 upstream.
bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user do unbalanced pages refcounting if
IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
bio_add_pc_page merges them into one, but the page reference is never
dropped.
