mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions



The concept here was a suggestion from Ingo.  The implementation
horrors are all mine.

This allows get_user_pages(), get_user_pages_unlocked(), and
get_user_pages_locked() to be called with or without the
leading tsk/mm arguments.  We will give a compile-time warning
about the old style being __deprecated and we will also
WARN_ON() if the non-remote version is used for a remote-style
access.

Doing this, folks will get nice warnings and will not break the
build.  This should be nice for -next and will hopefully let
developers fix up their own code instead of maintainers needing
to do it at merge time.

The way we do this is hideous.  It uses the __VA_ARGS__ macro
functionality to call different functions based on the number
of arguments passed to the macro.

There's an additional hack to ensure that our EXPORT_SYMBOL()
of the deprecated symbols doesn't trigger a warning.

We should be able to remove this mess as soon as -rc1 hits in
the release after this is merged.
