mm/gup: Mark all pages PageReferenced in generic get_user_pages_fast()

This is a preparation patch for the transition of x86 to the generic GUP_fast()
implementation.

Unlike generic GUP_fast(), the x86 version makes all pages it touches
referenced. It seems required for GRU and EPT.

See the following commit:
