------------------------------------------------------
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/gup.c: document return value

__get_user_pages_fast handles errors differently from get_user_pages_fast:
the former always returns the number of pages pinned, the later might
return a negative error code.
