Unraveling the rat's nest set of APIs in mm/gup.c a bit more.
get_user_pages_locked() was not helping at all, so remove it.
Also, lookup_node() has only a single caller, but it is still worth
having a clearer locking policy there. Changing it so that the caller
both takes and releases the mmap_lock, thus leaving lookup_node() with
the sole job of translating a virtual address into a numa node ID.
