This restriction was created because FOLL_LONGTERM used to scan the vma
list, so it could not tolerate becoming unlocked. That was fixed in
commit 52650c8b46 ("mm/gup: remove the vma allocation from
gup_longterm_locked()") and the restriction on !vma was removed.
However, the locked restriction remained, even though it isn't necessary
anymore.
Adjust __gup_longterm_locked() so it can handle the mmap_read_lock()
becoming unlocked while it is looping for migration. Migration does not
require the mmap_read_sem because it is only handling struct pages. If we
had to unlock then ensure the whole thing returns unlocked.
Remove __get_user_pages_remote() and __gup_longterm_unlocked(). These
cases can now just directly call other functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
