Agreed but the discussion back in Feb agreed that it would be better to make
get_user_pages_fast() use flags rather than add another *_longterm call, and I
agree.

I did this to remain consistent with the other public calls. They put the
"return" pages parameter at the end. For example get_user_pages() is defined
this way with pages and vmas at the end.

long get_user_pages(unsigned long start, unsigned long nr_pages,
unsigned int gup_flags, struct page **pages,
struct vm_area_struct **vmas)

I'm pretty sure I got all the callers. Is this worth making the signature
"non-standard" WRT the other calls?
