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.
