Put the page reference acquired by gfn_to_pfn_prot() if
kvm_vm_ioctl_mte_copy_tags() runs into ZONE_DEVICE memory.  KVM's less-
than-stellar heuristics for dealing with pfn-mapped memory means that KVM
can get a page reference to ZONE_DEVICE memory.

This patch makes sense irrespective of whether the above pfn is a
ZONE_DEVICE or not. gfn_to_pfn_prot() increased the page refcount via
GUP, so it must be released before bailing out of this loop.

Yep, as Catalin says, this is an 'obviously' correct fix - the reference
needs releasing before bailing out. The comment there is perhaps
misleading - it's not just ZONE_DEVICE memory that will be rejected, but
this is the case that was in my mind when I wrote it. Although clearly I
wasn't thinking hard enough when writing the code in the first place... ;)
