mm/gup: remove the restriction on locked with FOLL_LONGTERM
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 52650c8b ("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.
