From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>

Add a more capable variation of put_user_pages() to the
API set, and call it from the simple ones.

The new __put_user_pages() takes an enum that handles the various
combinations of needing to call set_page_dirty() or
set_page_dirty_lock(), before calling put_user_page().
