[PATCH v5 18/25] mm/gup: Don't allow FOLL_LONGTERM pinning of FS DAX pages

From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

Subsystem: memory management - core, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

Longterm pinning of FS DAX pages should already be disallowed by
various pXX_devmap checks. However a future change will cause these
checks to be invalid for FS DAX pages so make
folio_is_longterm_pinnable() return false for FS DAX pages.
