[PATCH v1 1/3] mm/gup: replace FOLL_NUMA by gup_can_follow_protnone()

[David Hildenbrand]

No need for a special flag that is not even properly documented to be
internal-only.

Let's just factor this check out and get rid of this flag. The separate
function has the nice benefit that we can centralize comments.
