[PATCH net 4/5] mlx4: fix race accessing page->_count

[Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>]

This is illegal to use atomic_set(&page->_count, ...) even if we 'own'
the page. Other entities in the kernel need to use get_page_unless_zero()
to get a reference to the page before testing page properties, so we could
loose a refcount increment.
