[PATCH V2 4/7] mm/gup: Add FOLL_LONGTERM capability to GUP fast

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny at intel.com>

DAX pages were previously unprotected from longterm pins when users
called get_user_pages_fast().

Use the new FOLL_LONGTERM flag to check for DEVMAP pages and fall
back to regular GUP processing if a DEVMAP page is encountered.
