mm, gup: add missing refcount overflow checks on x86 and s390
The mainline commit 8fde12ca ("mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount") was backported to 4.9.y stable as commit 2ed768cf. The backport however missed that in 4.9, there are several arch-specific gup.c versions with fast gup implementations, so these do not prevent refcount overflow. This is partially fixed for x86 in stable-only commit d73af797 ("x86, mm, gup: prevent get_page() race with munmap in paravirt guest"). This stable-only commit adds missing parts to x86 version, as well as s390 version, both taken from the SUSE SLES/openSUSE 4.12-based kernels. The remaining architectures with own gup.c are sparc, mips, sh. It's unlikely the known overflow scenario based on FUSE, which needs 140GB of RAM, is a problem for those architectures, and I don't feel confident enough to patch them.
