4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoa...@gmail.com>
commit 6347e8d5bcce33fc36e651901efefbe2c93a43ef upstream.
This removes the 'write' argument from access_remote_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.
We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
