OK. This one, and the fs/io_uring (patch 9) and net/xdp (patch 10) were all
cases that had put_user_page() pre-existing. I will add something like the 
following to each commit description, for v3:

In partial anticipation of this work, the drm/via driver was already 
calling put_user_page() instead of put_page(). Therefore, in order to
convert from the get_user_pages()/put_page() model, to the
pin_user_pages()/put_user_page() model, the only change required
is to change get_user_pages() to pin_user_pages().
