This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function. Recent
refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be passed through
get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to this function from its
one user, kvm.

We can see that the 2 calls to get_user_pages() which replace __get_user_pages()
in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call stacks:

get_user_page_nowait():
  get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
  __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
			  false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
  __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
		   flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)

check_user_page_hwpoison():
  get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
  __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
			  false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
  __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,
		   NULL, NULL)

Hmm, OK. Looks good to me. FOLL_GET is an implicit parameter for g-u-p
now which is a good thing. There are few follow_page but all of them are
pretty much mm internal things. It would be great to document that and
ideally also split and document the rest of flags to external and
internals. Thanks!
