John Hubbard 65462462ff mm/gup: follow_pfn_pte(): -EEXIST cleanup
Remove a quirky special case from follow_pfn_pte(), and adjust its
callers to match.  Caller changes include:

__get_user_pages(): Regardless of any FOLL_* flags, get_user_pages() and
its variants should handle PFN-only entries by stopping early, if the
caller expected **pages to be filled in.  This makes for a more reliable
API, as compared to the previous approach of skipping over such entries
(and thus leaving them silently unwritten).

move_pages(): squash the -EEXIST error return from follow_page() into
-EFAULT, because -EFAULT is listed in the man page, whereas -EEXIST is
not.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
