[PATCH 34/65] 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.
