[PATCH v2 1/3] mm/gup: add make_dirty arg to put_user_pages_dirty_lock()

[john . hubbard]

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>

Provide more capable variation of put_user_pages_dirty_lock(),
and delete put_user_pages_dirty(). This is based on the
following:

1. Lots of call sites become simpler if a bool is passed
into put_user_page*(), instead of making the call site
choose which put_user_page*() variant to call.

2. Christoph Hellwig's observation that set_page_dirty_lock()
is usually correct, and set_page_dirty() is usually a
bug, or at least questionable, within a put_user_page*()
calling chain.

This leads to the following API choices:

    * put_user_pages_dirty_lock(page, npages, make_dirty)

    * There is no put_user_pages_dirty(). You have to
      hand code that, in the rare case that it's
      required.
