Right.  This was changed earlier upstream in commit cde70140fed8
"mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions", but I don't think it
makes sense to apply all of that.  I'm attaching a minimal patch
(tested with an arm allnoconfig build) which should ideally be inserted
before mm-replace-get_user_pages-write-force-parameters-with-
gup_flags.patch.
