Subject: mm/gup: reorganize internal_get_user_pages_fast()
The next patch in this series makes the lockless flow a little more
complex, so move the entire block into a new function and remove a level
of indention. Tidy a bit of cruft:
- addr is always the same as start, so use start
- Use the modern check_add_overflow() for computing end = start + len
- nr_pinned/pages << PAGE_SHIFT needs the LHS to be unsigned long to
avoid shift overflow, make the variables unsigned long to avoid coding
casts in both places. nr_pinned was missing its cast
- The handling of ret and nr_pinned can be streamlined a bit
No functional change.
