Subject: [RFC/PATCH 5/5] media: vb2: use FOLL_DURABLE and __get_user_pages() to
 avoid CMA migration issues

V4L2 devices usually grab additional references to user pages for a very
long period of time, what causes permanent migration failures if the given
page has been allocated from CMA pageblock. By setting FOLL_DURABLE flag,
videobuf2 will instruct __get_user_pages() to migrate user pages out of
CMA pageblocks before blocking them with an additional reference.
