[PATCH 1/3] mm/gup: introduce __put_user_pages()

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard at nvidia.com>
Add a more capable variation of put_user_pages() to the
API set, and call it from the simple ones.
The new __put_user_pages() takes an enum that handles the various
combinations of needing to call set_page_dirty() or
set_page_dirty_lock(), before calling put_user_page().
