Users of get_user_pages_fast are not protected against mapping
pages within FS DAX.  Introduce a call which protects them.

We do this by checking for DEVMAP pages during the fast walk and
falling back to the longterm gup call to check for FS DAX if needed.

If we are adding a new flag, maybe we should get rid of the 'longterm'
entry points and just rely on the callers to pass the flag?
