Fixes: 24a95998e9ba ("mm/gup.c: simplify and fix check_and_migrate_movable_pages() return codes")

In mainline since v6.1!

Fixes: 89c1905d9c14 ("mm/gup: introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios")

Since v6.11.

have the first patch and not the second.  That's presumably an untested
combination, fingers crossed.
