[PATCH v1 2/3] mm/gup: use gup_can_follow_protnone() also in GUP-fast

[David Hildenbrand]

There seems to be no reason why FOLL_FORCE during GUP-fast would have to
fallback to the slow path when stumbling over a PROT_NONE mapped page. We
only have to trigger hinting faults in case FOLL_FORCE is not set, and any
kind of fault handling naturally happens from the slow path -- where
NUMA hinting accounting/handling would be performed.

Note that the comment regarding THP migration is outdated:
commit 2b4847e73004 ("mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against
THP migration") described that this was required for THP due to lack of PMD
migration entries. Nowadays, we do have proper PMD migration entries in
place -- see set_pmd_migration_entry(), which does a proper
pmdp_invalidate() when placing the migration entry.

So let's just reuse gup_can_follow_protnone() here to make it
consistent and drop the somewhat outdated comments.
