Subject: [PATCH 04/10] mm: replace get_user_pages_locked() write/force parameters with gup_flags

This patch removes the write and force parameters from get_user_pages_locked()
and replaces them with a gup_flags parameter to make the use of FOLL_FORCE
explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and
hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
