There were two nearly identical sets of code for gup_fast() style of walking the page tables with interrupts disabled. This has lead to the usual maintenance problems that arise from having duplicated code. There is already a core internal routine in gup.c for gup_fast(), so just enhance it very slightly: allow skipping the fall-back to "slow" (regular) get_user_pages(), via the new FOLL_FAST_ONLY flag. Then, just call internal_get_user_pages_fast() from __get_user_pages_fast(), and adjust the API to match pre-existing API behavior. There is a change in behavior from this refactoring: the nested form of interrupt disabling is used in all gup_fast() variants now. That's because there is only one place that interrupt disabling for page walking is done, and so the safer form is required. This should, if anything, eliminate possible (rare) bugs, because the non-nested form of enabling interrupts was fragile at best.
