[PATCH 005 of 8] md/bitmap: Remove unnecessary page reference manipulations from md/bitmap code.

NeilBrown
2006-05-12T06:08:17Z

md/bitmap gets a collection of pages representing the bitmap when it
initialises the bitmap, and puts all the references when discarding
the bitmap.

It also occasionally takes extra references without any good reason,
and sometimes drops them ... though it doesn't always drop them, which
can result in a memory leak.

This patch removes the unnecessary 'get_page' calls, and the
corresponding 'put_page' calls.
