Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] smaps / mm/gup: fix gup_can_follow_protnone fallout

This is agains mm/mm-unstable, but everything except patch #6 and #7
should apply on current master. Especially patch #1 and #2 should go
upstream first, so we can let the other stuff mature a bit longer.

Handle the fallout of 474098edac26 ("mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by
gup_can_follow_protnone()") where I accidentially missed that
follow_page() and smaps implicitly kept the FOLL_NUMA flag clear by not
setting it if FOLL_FORCE is absent, to not trigger faults on
PROT_NONE-mapped PTEs.

Patch #1 fixes the known issues by reintroducing FOLL_NUMA as
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT and decoupling it from FOLL_FORCE.

Patch #2 is a cleanup that I think actually fixes some corner cases, so
I added a Fixes: tag.

Patch #3 makes KVM explicitly set FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT in the single
case where it is required, and documents the situation.

Patch #4 then stops implicitly setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. But note that
for FOLL_WRITE we always implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults.

Patch #5 cleans up a comments.

Patch #6 improves the KVM functional tests such that patch #7 can
actually check for one of the known issues: KSM no longer working on
PROT_NONE mappings on x86-64 with CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.

v2 -> V3:
* "mm/gup: reintroduce FOLL_NUMA as FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT"
 -> Squash one comment removal
 -> Adjust the KSM comment
* smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd()
 -> Move follow_trans_huge_pmd() to mm/internal.h
