[PATCH v2 1/3] mm/gup: Introduce pin_user_pages_fd() for pinning shmem/hugetlbfs file pages (v2)

[Vivek Kasireddy]

For drivers that would like to longterm-pin the pages associated
with a file, the pin_user_pages_fd() API provides an option to
not only pin the pages via FOLL_PIN but also to check and migrate
them if they reside in movable zone or CMA block. This API
currently works with files that belong to either shmem or hugetlbfs.
Files belonging to other filesystems are rejected for now.

The pages need to be located first before pinning them via FOLL_PIN.
If they are found in the page cache, they can be immediately pinned.
Otherwise, they need to be allocated using the filesystem specific
APIs and then pinned.

v2:
- Drop gup_flags and improve comments and commit message (David)
- Allocate a page if we cannot find in page cache for the hugetlbfs
  case as well (David)
- Don't unpin pages if there is a migration related failure (David)
- Drop the unnecessary nr_pages <= 0 check (Jason)
- Have the caller of the API pass in file * instead of fd (Jason)
