Subject: mm/gup: frame_vector: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()
This code was using get_user_pages*(), and all of the callers so far were
in a "Case 2" scenario (DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1].
That means that it's time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page()
calls to pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls.
There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part
of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file
systems' use of those pages.
