When multiple registered buffers share the same compound page, only the first buffer accounts for the memory via io_buffer_account_pin(). The subsequent buffers skip accounting since headpage_already_acct() returns true.

When the first buffer is unregistered, the accounting is decremented, but the compound page remains pinned by the remaining buffers. This creates a state where pinned memory is not properly accounted against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.

On systems with HugeTLB pages pre-allocated, an unprivileged user can exploit this to pin memory beyond RLIMIT_MEMLOCK by cycling buffer registrations. The bypass amount is proportional to the number of available huge pages, potentially allowing gigabytes of memory to be pinned while the kernel accounting shows near-zero.

Fix this by recalculating the actual pages to unaccount when unmapping a buffer. For regular pages, always unaccount. For compound pages, only unaccount if no other registered buffer references the same compound page. This ensures the accounting persists until the last buffer referencing the compound page is released.
