[PATCH v3 18/21] gup: add FOLL_HINT_BULK, FAULT_FLAG_NON_CACHING

[Ankur Arora <ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>]

Add FOLL_HINT_BULK, which callers of get_user_pages(), pin_user_pages()
can use to signal that this call is one of many, allowing
get_user_pages() to optimize accordingly.

Additionally, add FAULT_FLAG_NON_CACHING, which in the fault handling
path signals that the underlying logic can use non-caching primitives.
This is a possible optimization for FOLL_HINT_BULK calls.
