  kvm: switch get_user_page_nowait() to get_user_pages_unlocked() (2017-12-04 13:35:21 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Al Viro (5):
      fold __get_user_pages_unlocked() into its sole remaining caller
      cris: switch to get_user_pages_fast()
      get_user_pages_unlocked(): pass true to __get_user_pages_locked() notify_drop
      __get_user_pages_locked(): get rid of notify_drop argument
      kvm: switch get_user_page_nowait() to get_user_pages_unlocked()
