From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: fix page reference leak in soft_offline_page()
The conversion to move pfn_to_online_page() internal to
soft_offline_page() missed that the get_user_pages() reference taken by
the madvise() path needs to be dropped when pfn_to_online_page() fails.
Note the direct sysfs-path to soft_offline_page() does not perform a
get_user_pages() lookup.
When soft_offline_page() is handed a pfn_valid() && !pfn_to_online_page()
pfn the kernel hangs at dax-device shutdown due to a leaked reference.
