Subject: mm/frame-vec: use FOLL_LONGTERM
For $reasons I've stumbled over this code and I'm not sure the change to
the new gup functions in 55a650c35fea ("mm/gup: frame_vector: convert
get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()") was entirely correct.
This here is used for long term buffers (not just quick I/O) like RDMA,
and John notes this in his patch. But I thought the rule for these is
that they need to add FOLL_LONGTERM, which John's patch didn't do.
There is already a dax specific check (added in b7f0554a56f2 ("mm: fail
get_vaddr_frames() for filesystem-dax mappings")), so this seems like the
prudent thing to do.
