Yes, this will not be required, I see. As we are planning to provide a
partial fallback for all objs (shmem backed as well as non-shmem
backed). 
So to conclude, a partial fallback (slow_user_access()) for all objs if
fast_user_write() fails.
And a full fallback (shmem_pwrite()) for only shmem backed objects if
slow_user_access() fails as well.

			hit_by_slowpath = 1;
                        mutex_unlock(&dev->struct_mutex);
                        if (slow_user_access(i915->gtt.mappable,
                                             page_base,
                                             page_offset, user_data,
                                             page_length, true)) {
                                ret = -EFAULT;
                                mutex_lock(&dev->struct_mutex);
                                goto out_flush;
                        }

                        mutex_lock(&dev->struct_mutex);
