For protection keys, we need to understand whether protections
should be enforced in software or not.A A In general, we enforce
protections when working on our own task, but not when on others.
We call these "current" and "remote" operations.

This patch introduces a new get_user_pages() variant:

A A A A A A A A get_user_pages_remote()

Which is a replacement for when get_user_pages() is called on
non-current tsk/mm.

In summary then get_user_pages_remote() do not enforce protections?
