In order to support more options in the GUP fast walk, change
the write parameter to flags throughout the call stack.
This patch does not change functionality and passes FOLL_WRITE
where write was previously used.

To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.
This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.
Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because
From: Ira Weiny
Rather than have a separate get_user_pages_longterm() call,
introduce FOLL_LONGTERM and change the longterm callers to use
it.
This patch does not change any functionality.
FOLL_LONGTERM can only be supported with get_user_pages() as it
requires vmas to determine if DAX is in us
From: Ira Weiny
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.

NOTE: This series depends on my clean up patch to remove the write parameter
from gup_fast_permitted()[1]
HFI1, qib, and mthca, use get_user_pages_fast() due to it performance
advantages. These pages can be held for a significant time. But
get_user_pages_fast() does not protect
