[PATCH v7 05/17] mm/frame-vector: Use FOLL_LONGTERM

This is used by media/videbuf2 for persistent dma mappings, not just
for a single dma operation and then freed again, so needs
FOLL_LONGTERM.

Unfortunately current pup_locked doesn't support FOLL_LONGTERM due to
locking issues. Rework the code to pull the pup path out from the
mmap_sem critical section as suggested by Jason.

By relying entirely on the vma checks in pin_user_pages and follow_pfn
(for vm_flags and vma_is_fsdax) we can also streamline the code a lot.

Note that pin_user_pages_fast is a safe replacement despite the
seeming lack of checking for vma->vm_flasg & (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP). Such
ptes are marked with pte_mkspecial (which pup_fast rejects in the
fastpath), and only architectures supporting that support the
pin_user_pages_fast fastpath.

v2: Streamline the code and further simplify the loop checks (Jason)

v5: Review from Tomasz:
- fix page counting for the follow_pfn case by resetting ret
- drop gup_flags paramater, now unused

v6: Explain why pup_fast is safe, after discussions with John and
Christoph.
