mm: fix invalid page pointer returned with FOLL_PIN gups

Patch series "mm/gup: some cleanups", v5.

This patch (of 5):

Alex reported invalid page pointer returned with pin_user_pages_remote()
from vfio after upstream commit 4b6c33b32296 ("vfio/type1: Prepare for
batched pinning with struct vfio_batch").

It turns out that it's not the fault of the vfio commit; however after
vfio switches to a full page buffer to store the page pointers it starts
to expose the problem easier.

The problem is for VM_PFNMAP vmas we should normally fail with an -EFAULT
then vfio will carry on to handle the MMIO regions.  However when the bug
triggered, follow_page_mask() returned -EEXIST for such a page, which will
jump over the current page, leaving that entry in **pages untouched.
However the caller is not aware of it, hence the caller will reference the
page as usual even if the pointer data can be anything.

We had that -EEXIST logic since commit 1027e4436b6a ("mm: make GUP handle
pfn mapping unless FOLL_GET is requested") which seems very reasonable.
It could be that when we reworked GUP with FOLL_PIN we could have
overlooked that special path in commit 3faa52c03f44 ("mm/gup: track
FOLL_PIN pages"), even if that commit rightfully touched up
follow_devmap_pud() on checking FOLL_PIN when it needs to return an
-EEXIST.

Attaching the Fixes to the FOLL_PIN rework commit, as it happened later than
1027e4436b6a.
