/*

As it says in the updated comment in gup.c: current FOLL_LONGTERM behavior is incompatible with FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY because of the FS DAX check requirement on vmas. However, the corresponding restriction in get_user_pages_remote() was slightly stricter than is actually required: it forbade all FOLL_LONGTERM callers, but we can actually allow FOLL_LONGTERM callers that do not set the "locked" arg. Update the code and comments to loosen the restriction, allowing FOLL_LONGTERM in some cases. Also, copy the DAX check ("if a VMA is DAX, don't allow long term pinning") from the VFIO call site, all the way into the internals of get_user_pages_remote() and __gup_longterm_locked(). That is: get_user_pages_remote() calls __gup_longterm_locked(), which in turn calls check_dax_vmas(). This check will then be removed from the VFIO call site in a subsequent patch. Thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for pointing out a clean way to fix this, and to Dan Williams for helping clarify the DAX refactoring.
