Unfortunately holding the lock is required to support FOLL_LONGTERM (to check
the VMAs) but we don't want to hold the lock to be optimal (specifically allow
FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY).  So I'm maintaining the optimization for *_fast users
who do not specify FOLL_LONGTERM.

Another way to do this would have been to define __gup_longterm_unlocked with
the above logic, but that seemed overkill at this point.
