Subject: mm/gup: remove record_subpages()
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 17:03:40 +0200

We can just cleanup the code by calculating the #refs earlier, so we can
just inline what remains of record_subpages().

Calculate the number of references/pages ahead of times, and record them
only once all our tests passed.
