This is used by media/videbuf2 for persistent dma mappings, not just
for a single dma operation and then freed again, so needs
FOLL_LONGTERM.

Unfortunately current pup_locked doesn't support FOLL_LONGTERM due to
locking issues. Rework the code to pull the pup path out from the
mmap_sem critical section as suggested by Jason.

This part looks good, and changing to _fast is a potential performance improvement,
too.

Are you sure we don't need to check vma_is_fsdax() anymore?

All of the error handling still looks accurate there.
