Populate is exactly as racy as probe. We don't support pinned userptr
anymore.

I expect the actual userspace code will simply try with the probe flag
first, and then without + set_domain. So strictly speaking we might not
even have a need for the getparam.
Otoh, let's not overthink/engineer this, whatever works for userspace is
ok imo. A new query that lists all flags is the kind of fake-generic stuff
that will like mis-estimate where the future actually lands, e.g. how do
you encode if we add extensions to userptr to this? Which is something we
absolutely can, by extending the struct at the end, which doesn't even
need a new flag.
Let's solve the immediate problem at hand, and not try to guess what more
problems we might have in the future.
