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.
