[PATCH v6 05/24] mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pages

An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and
especially the "put page" aspects of it. In order to keep
everything clean, refactor the devmap page release routines:

* Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(),
  and limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool,
  with no side effects.

* Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle checking
  what kind of page it is, and what kind of refcount handling it
  requires.

* Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(),
  and limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap
  page.

This is originally based on a separate patch by Ira Weiny, which
applied to an early version of the put_user_page() experiments.
Since then, Jérôme Glisse suggested the refactoring described above.
