gup_flags is passed to check_and_migrate_movable_pages() so that it can

However check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is only called for
FOLL_LONGTERM, which implies FOLL_PIN so there is no need to pass

heh, while verifying the above claim, I noticed that
__gup_longterm_locked() has been misnamed for some time now. That
function handles both FOLL_LONGTERM and !FOLL_LONGTERM. There's
always something...

Anyway, though, this patch is a good cleanup step, so:
