Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/gup: fix a misnamed "write" argument: should be "flags"

In several routines, the "flags" argument is incorrectly
named "write". Change it to "flags".

You can see that this was a simple oversight, because the
calling code passes "flags" to the fifth argument:

gup_pgd_range():
    ...
    if (!gup_huge_pd(__hugepd(pgd_val(pgd)), addr,
		    PGDIR_SHIFT, next, flags, pages, nr))

...which, until this patch, the callees referred to as "write".

Also, change two lines to avoid checkpatch line length
complaints, and another line to fix another oversight
that checkpatch called out: missing "int" on pdshift.
