Revert "gup: document and work around "COW can break either way" issue"
This reverts commit 9bbd42e7, which was commit 17839856 upstream. The backport was incorrect and incomplete: * It forced the write flag on in the generic __get_user_pages_fast(), whereas only get_user_pages_fast() was supposed to do that. * It only fixed the generic RCU-based implementation used by arm, arm64, and powerpc. Before Linux 4.13, several other architectures had their own implementations: mips, s390, sparc, sh, and x86. This will be followed by a (hopefully) correct backport.
