Cleanup will be at process death, so I'm adding a routine to be called from 
do_exit().

As part of that cleanup, do I need to call do_munmap() on the user virtual 
address first, or can I just do

	ClearPageReserved(pg);
	__free_pages(pg,0);

and then rely on the mm takedown to properly unmap and drop its references?

Basically I'm not sure if I can clear the reservation and free the page while 
it's still mapped in the task's memory map.
