This looks a tad scary given all related thrash especially when it's
only 1 user that wants to do get_user_page_fast_longterm, right? Maybe
something like the following. Note I explicitly moved the flags to the
end so that someone half paying attention that calls
__get_user_pages_fast will get a compile error if they specify the
args in the same order.
