Introduce gnttab_unmap_refs_async() that can be used to safely unmap pages that may be in use (ref count > 1). If the pages are in use the unmap is deferred and retried later. This polling is not very clever but it should be good enough if the cases where the delay is necessary are rare. The initial delay is 5 ms and is increased linearly on each subsequent retry (to reduce load if the page is in use for a long time). This is needed to allow block backends using grant mapping to safely use network storage (block or filesystem based such as iSCSI or NFS). The network storage driver may complete a block request whilst there is a queued network packet retry (because the ack from the remote end races with deciding to queue the retry). The pages for the retried packet would be grant unmapped and the network driver (or hardware) would access the unmapped page.
