Merge branch 'gup_flag-cleanups'

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
 "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
  that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
  implied by flags.

  The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
  so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
  being used.  The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
  VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
  from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.

  The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
  ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
  which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
  with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
  do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
  for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
  dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
  situation where this assumption did not hold.

  See

      https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166

  for the patch proposal"

Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.

[ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and
  reviewed-by's ]
