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.
