mm: fix get_user_pages_remote()'s handling of FOLL_LONGTERM

Browse Source 
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.
