In the case of get_user_pages_fast() returning fewer pages than
requested, rio_dma_transfer() does not quite do the right thing.
It attempts to release all the pages that were requested, rather
than just the pages that were pinned.

Fix the error handling so that only the pages that were successfully
pinned are released.

The code is a bit odd.  If (xfer->loc_addr == 0) then we do the `else'
stuff then fall through to

err_pg:
	if (!req->page_list) {
		for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++)
			put_page(page_list[i]);
		kfree(page_list);
	}

all of which is a big no-op because nr_pages==0 and page_list==NULL,
but it could all be easily avoided.

Oh well.  Reviewed-by:me.
