Subject: [PATCH 0/5] get_user_pages_locked|unlocked v1

This patchset standalone is an optimization leveraging the page fault
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag which allows the page fault paths to drop
the mmap_sem before I/O.

For the userfaultfd patchset this patch is instead a dependency as we
need that flag always set the first time any thread attempts a page
fault, in order to release the mmap_sem before stopping the page fault
(while waiting for a later userland wakeup).

  mm: gup: add get_user_pages_locked and get_user_pages_unlocked
