mm: add support for releasing multiple instances of a page
Add a function that allows us to batch free a page that has multiple
references outstanding. Specifically this function can be used to drop
a page being used in the page frag alloc cache. With this drivers can
make use of functionality similar to the page frag alloc cache without
having to do any workarounds for the fact that there is no function that
frees multiple references.
