Update VFIO to take advantage of the recently loosened restriction on
FOLL_LONGTERM with get_user_pages_remote(). Also, now it is possible to
fix a bug: the VFIO caller is logically a FOLL_LONGTERM user, but it
wasn't setting FOLL_LONGTERM.
Also, remove an unnessary pair of calls that were releasing and
reacquiring the mmap_sem. There is no need to avoid holding mmap_sem
just in order to call page_to_pfn().
Also, now that the the DAX check ("if a VMA is DAX, don't allow long
term pinning") is in the internals of get_user_pages_remote() and
__gup_longterm_locked(), there's no need for it at the VFIO call site. So
remove it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
