Yeah, it does seem entirely superfluous.
It's been there since the very beginning (although in that original
commit b6a2fea39318 it was there as a '1' to the 'force' argument to
get_user_pages()).
I *think* it can be just removed. But as long as it exists, it should
most definitely not be renamed to FOLL_PTRACE.
There's a slight worry that it currently hides some other setup issue
that makes it matter, since it's been that way so long, but I can't
see what it is.
