Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] mm/gup: explicitly define and check internal GUP flags, disallow FOLL_TOUCH

Rather than open-coding a list of internal GUP flags in
is_valid_gup_args(), define which ones are internal.

In addition, explicitly check to see if the user passed in FOLL_TOUCH
somehow, as this appears to have been accidentally excluded.
