[PATCH RFC 14/19] drm/etnaviv: remove FOLL_FORCE usage

GUP now supports reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings, such
that we break COW early. MAP_SHARED VMAs only use the shared zeropage so
far in one corner case (DAXFS file with holes), which can be ignored
because GUP does not support long-term pinning in fsdax (see
check_vma_flags()).

commit cd5297b0855f ("drm/etnaviv: Use FOLL_FORCE for userptr")
documents that FOLL_FORCE | FOLL_WRITE was really only used for reliable
R/O pinning.

Consequently, FOLL_FORCE | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM is no longer required
for reliable R/O long-term pinning: FOLL_LONGTERM is sufficient. So stop
using FOLL_FORCE, which is really only for debugger access.
