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.
