Enable gup to retry and fault the pages outside of the mmap_sem lock in
our worker. As we are inside our worker, outside of any critical path,
we can allow the mmap_sem lock to be dropped in order to service a page
fault; this in turn allows the mm to populate the page using a slow
fault handler.
Testcase: igt/gem_userptr/userfault
There are no references or explanation on what does this fix?
