9a95f3cf7b mm: describe mmap_sem rules for __lock_page_or_retry() and callers
Add a comment describing the circumstances in which
__lock_page_or_retry() will or will not release the mmap_sem when
returning 0.

Add comments to lock_page_or_retry()'s callers (filemap_fault(),
do_swap_page()) noting the impact on VM_FAULT_RETRY returns.

Add comments on up the call tree, particularly replacing the false "We
return with mmap_sem still held" comments.

1674448345 mm: extract code to fault in a page from __get_user_pages()
Nesting level in __get_user_pages() is just insane. Let's try to fix it
a bit.

69e68b4f03 mm: cleanup follow_page_mask()
Cleanups:
 - move pte-related code to separate function. It's about half of the
   function;
 - get rid of some goto-logic;
 - use 'return NULL' instead of 'return page' where page can only be
   NULL;

4bbd4c776a mm: move get_user_pages()-related code to separate file
mm/memory.c is overloaded: over 4k lines. get_user_pages() code is
pretty much self-contained let's move it to separate file.

No other changes made.
