[PATCH 5.11 096/254] drm/etnaviv: Use FOLL_FORCE for userptr

commit cd5297b0855f17c8b4e3ef1d20c6a3656209c7b3 upstream.

Nothing checks userptr.ro except this call to pup_fast, which means
there's nothing actually preventing userspace from writing to this.
Which means you can just read-only mmap any file you want, userptr it
and then write to it with the gpu. Not good.

The right way to handle this is FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_FORCE, which will
break any COW mappings and update tracking for MAY_WRITE mappings so
there's no exploit and the vm isn't confused about what's going on.
For any legit use case there's no difference from what userspace can
observe and do.
