From: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx> Do not increase page count if FOLL_GET is not set. None of the current user can trigger the issue because none of the current user call __get_user_pages with both the pages array ptr non NULL and the FOLL_GET flags non set in other word all caller of __get_user_pages that don't set the FOLL_GET flags also call with pages == NULL. v2: Do not use get_page_foll.
