Subject: RDMA/hw/qib/qib_user_pages: remove FOLL_FORCE usage
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 11:26:57 +0100
FOLL_FORCE is really only for ptrace access. As we unpin the pinned pages
using unpin_user_pages_dirty_lock(true), the assumption is that all these
pages are writable.
FOLL_FORCE in this case seems to be a legacy leftover. Let's just remove
it.
