ivtv: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1].  That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to
pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls.

There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part
of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file
systems' use of those pages.
