As it says in the updated comment in gup.c: current FOLL_LONGTERM behavior is incompatible with FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY because of the FS DAX check requirement on vmas. However, the corresponding restriction in get_user_pages_remote() was slightly stricter than is actually required: it forbade all FOLL_LONGTERM callers, but we can actually allow FOLL_LONGTERM callers that do not set the "locked" arg. Update the code and comments accordingly, and update the VFIO caller to take advantage of this, fixing a bug as a result: the VFIO caller is logically a FOLL_LONGTERM user. Thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for pointing out a clean way to fix this.
