Allison Henderson a507023e6f net/rds: unpin MR pages with unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock()
The pages backing an RDS memory region are pinned in __rds_rdma_map()
with rds_pin_pages(), which uses pin_user_pages_fast(): each page's
refcount is biased by GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS to account the pin.  The
scatterlist is then handed to the IB transport, and the transport
releases the pages in __rds_ib_teardown_mr() with

	set_page_dirty(page);
	put_page(page);

put_page() drops a single reference instead of removing the pin bias,
so every MR teardown permanently strands the remaining references and
the pages are never freed - a userspace-triggerable memory leak of up
to RDS_MAX_MSG_SIZE per RDS_GET_MR/RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST call.

The conversion to the pin API updated the unpin sites in rdma.c but
missed this one on the transport side.  Release the pages with
unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock(), which removes the pin bias and also
dirties the page under the folio lock, closing the truncation race
that a bare set_page_dirty() leaves open.

Dirtying under the folio lock can sleep, which is safe in every path
that reaches __rds_ib_teardown_mr(): the registration-reuse path
(rds_ib_map_frmr()) runs in syscall context, and the pool flush
(rds_ib_unreg_frmr()) runs under pool->flush_lock, a mutex, and
already sleeps in rds_ib_post_inv().  The WARN_ON that guarded the
old irq-context set_page_dirty() case is dropped along with it.
