Andrea Arcangeli 96312e6128 mm/gup.c: teach get_user_pages_unlocked to handle FOLL_NOWAIT
KVM is hanging during postcopy live migration with userfaultfd because
get_user_pages_unlocked is not capable to handle FOLL_NOWAIT.

Earlier FOLL_NOWAIT was only ever passed to get_user_pages.

Specifically faultin_page (the callee of get_user_pages_unlocked caller)
doesn't know that if FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT was set in the page fault
flags, when VM_FAULT_RETRY is returned, the mmap_sem wasn't actually
released (even if nonblocking is not NULL).  So it sets *nonblocking to
zero and the caller won't release the mmap_sem thinking it was already
released, but it wasn't because of FOLL_NOWAIT.
