Pinned pages are not properly accounted particularly when
mapping error occurs on IOTLB update. Clean up dangling
pinned pages for the error path.

The memory usage for bookkeeping pinned pages is reverted
to what it was before: only one single free page is needed.
This helps reduce the host memory demand for VM with a large
amount of memory, or in the situation where host is running
short of free memory.

I want to know what's wrong with current code.

We call vhost_vdpa_unmap() on error which calls 
vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap() that will unpin and reduce the pinned_vm.
Think about the case where vhost_vdpa_map() fails in the middle 
after making a few successful ones. In the current code, the 
vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap() unpins what had been mapped, but does not 
unpin those that have not yet been mapped. These outstanding pinned 
pages will be leaked after leaving the vhost_vdpa_map() function.
Typo: ... leaving the vhost_vdpa_process_iotlb_update() function.

Also, the subtraction accounting at the end of the function is 
incorrect in that case: @npages is deduced by @pinned in each 
iteration. That's why I moved the accounting to vhost_vdpa_map() to 
be symmetric with vhost_vdpa_unmap().
I see, then I wonder if it would have more easy to read code if we do 
(un)pinning/accouting only in vhost_vdpa_map()/vhost_vdpa_unmap()?
Yes. That's what I've done in my new code. Though, the caller still has 
to unpin the outstanding pages that aren't accounted for in 
vhost_vdpa_map().
