4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoa...@gmail.com>
commit 3b913179c3fa89dd0e304193fa0c746fc0481447 upstream.
This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_locked()
and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE
explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
