mm: free device private pages have zero refcount

Since 27674ef6c73f ("mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page
refcount") device private pages have no longer had an extra reference
count when the page is in use.  However before handing them back to the
owning device driver we add an extra reference count such that free pages
have a reference count of one.

This makes it difficult to tell if a page is free or not because both free
and in use pages will have a non-zero refcount.  Instead we should return
pages to the drivers page allocator with a zero reference count.  Kernel
code can then safely use kernel functions such as get_page_unless_zero().
