Subject: mm/gup: assert that the mmap lock is held in __get_user_pages()

After having cleaned up all GUP callers (except for the atomisp staging
driver, which currently gets mmap locking completely wrong [1]) to always
ensure that they hold the mmap lock when calling into GUP (unless the mm
is not yet globally visible), add an assertion to make sure it stays that
way going forward.
