[PATCH v2 2/2] mm: unexport __get_user_pages_unlocked()

This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages_unlocked() function and
replaces invocations with calls to more appropriate higher-level functions.

In hva_to_pfn_slow() we are able to replace __get_user_pages_unlocked() with
get_user_pages_unlocked() since we can now pass gup_flags.

In async_pf_execute() and process_vm_rw_single_vec() we need to pass different
tsk, mm arguments so get_user_pages_remote() is the sane replacement in these
cases (having added manual acquisition and release of mmap_sem.)

Additionally get_user_pages_remote() reintroduces use of the FOLL_TOUCH
flag. However, this flag was originally silently dropped by 1e9877902dc7e
("mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()"), so this appears to have been
unintentional and reintroducing it is therefore not an issue.
