Revert "nouveau/bios: Fix tracking of BIOS image data"
This reverts commit d06221c0. It turns out to trigger the "BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page))" in kfree(), apparently because the code ends up trying to free somethng that was never kmalloced in the first place. BenH points out that the patch was untested and wasn't meant to go into the upstream kernel that quickly in the first place.
