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

commit 859110d7497cdd0e6b21010d6f777049d676382c upstream.
This removes the redundant 'write' and 'force' parameters from __get_user_pages_locked() to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
