mm: move FOLL_* defs to mm_types.h

Move FOLL_* definitions to linux/mm_types.h to make them more accessible
without having to drag in all of linux/mm.h and everything that drags in
too[1].

* FOLL_PIN and FOLL_LONGTERM may be used in various combinations with each

*
* FOLL_LONGTERM indicates that the page will be held for an indefinite time
* period _often_ under userspace control. This is in contrast to
* iov_iter_get_pages(), whose usages are transient.
*
* FIXME: For pages which are part of a filesystem, mappings are subject to the
* lifetime enforced by the filesystem and we need guarantees that longterm
* users like RDMA and V4L2 only establish mappings which coordinate usage with
* the filesystem. Ideas for this coordination include revoking the longterm
* pin, delaying writeback, bounce buffer page writeback, etc. As FS DAX was
* added after the problem with filesystems was found FS DAX VMAs are
* specifically failed. Filesystem pages are still subject to bugs and use of
* FOLL_LONGTERM should be avoided on those pages.
*
* FIXME: Also NOTE that FOLL_LONGTERM is not supported in every GUP call.
* Currently only get_user_pages() and get_user_pages_fast() support this flag
* and calls to get_user_pages_[un]locked are specifically not allowed. This
* is due to an incompatibility with the FS DAX check and
* FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY.
*
* In the CMA case: long term pins in a CMA region would unnecessarily fragment
* that region. And so, CMA attempts to migrate the page before pinning, when
* FOLL_LONGTERM is specified.
*
* FOLL_PIN indicates that a special kind of tracking (not just page->_refcount,
* but an additional pin counting system) will be invoked. This is intended for
* anything that gets a page reference and then touches page data (for example,
* Direct IO). This lets the filesystem know that some non-file-system entity is
* potentially changing the pages' data. In contrast to FOLL_GET (whose pages
* are released via put_page()), FOLL_PIN pages must be released, ultimately, by
* a call to unpin_user_page().
*
* FOLL_PIN is similar to FOLL_GET: both of these pin pages. They use different
* and separate refcounting mechanisms, however, and that means that each has
* its own acquire and release mechanisms:
*
* FOLL_GET: get_user_pages*() to acquire, and put_page() to release.
*
* FOLL_PIN: pin_user_pages*() to acquire, and unpin_user_pages to release.
*
* FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET are mutually exclusive for a given function call.
* (The underlying pages may experience both FOLL_GET-based and FOLL_PIN-based
* calls applied to them, and that's perfectly OK. This is a constraint on the
* callers, not on the pages.)
*
* FOLL_PIN should be set internally by the pin_user_pages*() APIs, never
* directly by the caller. That's in order to help avoid mismatches when
* releasing pages: get_user_pages*() pages must be released via put_page(),
* while pin_user_pages*() pages must be released via unpin_user_page().
