mm: move FOLL_* defs to mm_types.h
Move FOLL_* definitions to linux/mm_types.h to make them more accessible without having to drag in all of linux/mm.h and everything that drags in too[1].

- * FOLL_PIN and FOLL_LONGTERM may be used in various combinations with each
- * other. Here is what they mean, and how to use them:
- *
- * FOLL_LONGTERM indicates that the page will be held for an indefinite time
- * period _often_ under userspace control. This is in contrast to
- * iov_iter_get_pages(), whose usages are transient.
- *
- * FIXME: For pages which are part of a filesystem, mappings are subject to the
- * lifetime enforced by the filesystem and we need guarantees that longterm
- * users like RDMA and V4L2 only establish mappings which coordinate usage with
- * the filesystem. Ideas for this coordination include revoking the longterm
- * pin, delaying writeback, bounce buffer page writeback, etc. As FS DAX was
- * added after the problem with filesystems was found FS DAX VMAs are
- * specifically failed. Filesystem pages are still subject to bugs and use of
- * FOLL_LONGTERM should be avoided on those pages.
- *
- * FIXME: Also NOTE that FOLL_LONGTERM is not supported in every GUP call.
- * Currently only get_user_pages() and get_user_pages_fast() support this flag
- * and calls to get_user_pages_[un]locked are specifically not allowed. This
- * is due to an incompatibility with the FS DAX check and
- * FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY.
- *
- * In the CMA case: long term pins in a CMA region would unnecessarily fragment
- * that region. And so, CMA attempts to migrate the page before pinning, when
- * FOLL_LONGTERM is specified.
- *
- * FOLL_PIN indicates that a special kind of tracking (not just page->_refcount,
- * but an additional pin counting system) will be invoked. This is intended for
- * anything that gets a page reference and then touches page data (for example,
- * Direct IO). This lets the filesystem know that some non-file-system entity is
- * potentially changing the pages' data. In contrast to FOLL_GET (whose pages
- * are released via put_page()), FOLL_PIN pages must be released, ultimately, by
- * a call to unpin_user_page().
- *
- * FOLL_PIN is similar to FOLL_GET: both of these pin pages. They use different
- * and separate refcounting mechanisms, however, and that means that each has
- * its own acquire and release mechanisms:
- *
- * FOLL_GET: get_user_pages*() to acquire, and put_page() to release.
- *
- * FOLL_PIN: pin_user_pages*() to acquire, and unpin_user_pages to release.
- *
- * FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET are mutually exclusive for a given function call.
- * (The underlying pages may experience both FOLL_GET-based and FOLL_PIN-based
- * calls applied to them, and that's perfectly OK. This is a constraint on the
- * callers, not on the pages.)
- *
- * FOLL_PIN should be set internally by the pin_user_pages*() APIs, never
- * directly by the caller. That's in order to help avoid mismatches when
- * releasing pages: get_user_pages*() pages must be released via put_page(),
- * while pin_user_pages*() pages must be released via unpin_user_page().
- *
- * Please see Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for more information.
