mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_locked()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This removes the redundant 'write' and 'force' parameters from
__get_user_pages_locked() to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in
callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and
hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
