Hi,

'pages' retrived by __bio_iov_iter_get_pages() may point to same page,
and finally they can be merged to the same page in bio_add_page(), then
page leak can be caused because bio_release_pages() only drops the page
ref once.

Fixes this issue by dropping the extra page ref.

V2:
	- V1 breaks multi-page merge, and fix it and only put the page ref
	if the added page is really the 'same page'
