This is used by media/videbuf2 for persistent dma mappings, not just
for a single dma operation and then freed again, so needs
FOLL_LONGTERM.

Unfortunately current pup_locked doesn't support FOLL_LONGTERM due to
locking issues. Rework the code to pull the pup path out from the
mmap_sem critical section as suggested by Jason.

By relying entirely on the vma checks in pin_user_pages and follow_pfn
(for vm_flags and vma_is_fsdax) we can also streamline the code a lot.

None of the callers that we have today will accept anything less than
ret == nr_frames. And the whole partially pinned region idea turns out
to be just not useful for almost everyone, from what I recall of the gup/pup
call sites. So I wonder if we should just have get_vaddr_frames do the
cleanup here and return -EFAULT, if ret != nr_frames ?

Yeah I noticed that the calling convention here is a bit funny. But I
with these frame-vector helpers now being part of drivers/media it's
up to media folks if they want to clean that up, or leave it as is.

If this would be in drm I'd say we'll have the loud warning and
tainting due to CONFIG_STRICT_FOLLOW_PFN=n for 2-3 years. Then
assuming no big complaints showed up, rip it all out and just directly
call pup in each place that wants it (like I've done for habanalabs
and exynos).
