4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 69c907022a7d9325cdc5c9dd064571e445df9a47 ]
At the point of sysfs callback, the call to gup is
done without mmap_sem (or any lock for that matter).
This is racy. As such, use the get_user_pages_fast()
alternative and safely avoid taking the lock, if possible.
