Right now, ZONE_DEVICE memory is always set PG_reserved. We want to
change that.

The pages are obtained via get_user_pages_fast(). I assume, these
could be ZONE_DEVICE pages. Let's just exclude them as well explicitly.

@Dan, is SetPageDirty() on ZONE_DEVICE pages bad or do we simply not 
care? I think that ending up with ZONE_DEVICE pages here is very 
unlikely. I'd like to drop this (and the next) patch and document why it 
is okay to do so.
