Nit:
... this is a no-op and the ioctl returns success.

Technically not a no-op in the file-backed case, you will still remove a
list entry.

How about a little re-wording:

KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_UNMAP
  Unmap a previously mapped adapter indicator or summary page and release
  the long-term pin. If the page was not long-term pinned (e.g. file-backed
  memory), the map entry is removed and success is returned; if no prior
  map entry exists, -ENOENT is returned. In Secure Execution mode this is
  a no-op and the ioctl returns success.

Otherwise, code looks good to me.  Thanks Jaehoon!
