If gup_flags were | FOLL_LONGTERM then this patch would fix a double
free because of the put_page() in __gup_longterm_locked().

mm/gup.c
  1786                  if (check_dax_vmas(vmas_tmp, rc)) {
  1787                          for (i = 0; i < rc; i++)
  1788                                  put_page(pages[i]);
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
put_page() here and also in the caller.

  1789                          rc = -EOPNOTSUPP;
  1790                          goto out;
  1791                  }

But since this isn't FOLL_LONGTERM the patch is a nice cleanup which
doesn't affect run time.
