Add an unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() API which takes a starting page and how many consecutive pages we want to unpin and optionally dirty. To that end, define another iterator for_each_compound_range() that operates in page ranges as opposed to page array. For users (like RDMA mr_dereg) where each sg represents a contiguous set of pages, we're able to more efficiently unpin pages without having to supply an array of pages much of what happens today with unpin_user_pages().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
