[PATCH v6 04/24] mm: Cleanup __put_devmap_managed_page() vs ->page_free()

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams at intel.com>

After the removal of the device-public infrastructure there are only 2
->page_free() call backs in the kernel. One of those is a device-private
callback in the nouveau driver, the other is a generic wakeup needed in
the DAX case. In the hopes that all ->page_free() callbacks can be
migrated to common core kernel functionality, move the device-private
specific actions in __put_devmap_managed_page() under the
is_device_private_page() conditional, including the ->page_free()
callback. For the other page types just open-code the generic wakeup.

Yes, the wakeup is only needed in the MEMORY_DEVICE_FSDAX case, but it
does no harm in the MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA
case.
