mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone()



Patch series "mm: minor cleanups around NUMA hinting".

Working on some GUP cleanups (e.g., getting rid of some FOLL_ flags) and
preparing for other GUP changes (getting rid of FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE for
for taking a R/O longterm pin), this is something I can easily send out
independently.

Get rid of FOLL_NUMA, allow FOLL_FORCE access to PROT_NONE mapped pages in
GUP-fast, and fixup some documentation around NUMA hinting.


This patch (of 3):

No need for a special flag that is not even properly documented to be
internal-only.

Let's just factor this check out and get rid of this flag.  The separate
function has the nice benefit that we can centralize comments.
