Subject: arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c: change flag passed to GUP fast in sev_pin_memory()
When trying to lock read-only pages, sev_pin_memory() fails because
FOLL_WRITE is used as the flag for get_user_pages_fast().
Commit 73b0140bf0fe ("mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a
write 'bool'") updated the get_user_pages_fast() call sites to use flags,
but incorrectly updated the call in sev_pin_memory(). As the original
coding of this call was correct, revert the change made by that commit.
