Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] mm/secretmem: fix GUP-fast succeeding on secretmem folios

folio_is_secretmem() states that secretmem folios cannot be LRU folios:
so we may only exit early if we find an LRU folio. Yet, we exit early if
we find a folio that is not a secretmem folio.

Consequently, folio_is_secretmem() fails to detect secretmem folios and,
therefore, we can succeed in grabbing a secretmem folio during GUP-fast,
crashing the kernel when we later try reading/writing to the folio, because
the folio has been unmapped from the directmap.
