Subject: mm/gup: don't allow FOLL_LONGTERM pinning of FS DAX pages
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2025 14:42:34 +1100
Longterm pinning of FS DAX pages should already be disallowed by various
pXX_devmap checks. However a future change will cause these checks to be
invalid for FS DAX pages so make folio_is_longterm_pinnable() return false
for FS DAX pages.
