This allows the get_user_pages_fast slow path to release the mmap_sem
before blocking.

Pull ACCESS_ONCE cleanup preparation from Christian Borntraeger:
"kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
accesses.
Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data
structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
warning is emitted. The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.
This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux
next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs.
non-scalar types"
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/borntraeger/linux:
s390/kvm: REPLACE barrier fixup with READ_ONCE
arm/spinlock: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE
arm64/spinlock: Replace ACCESS_ONCE READ_ONCE
mips/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE
x86/gup: Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE

mm: replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE or barriers

ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For
example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such
accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145)
Change the gup code to replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE.

get_user_pages_fast() is missing cache flushes for MIPS platforms with
cache aliases. Filesystem failures observed with DirectIO operations due
to missing flush_anon_page() that use page coloring logic to work with
cache aliases. This fix falls through to take slow_irqon path that calls
get_user_pages() that has required logic for platforms where
cpu_has_dc_aliases is true.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

See commit b6999b191 which did the same modification for x86's mm/gup,
Quote from commit b6999b191:
"If compound pages are used and the page is a
tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are
mapped while gup_huge_pud does not do that."
[ralf@linux-mips.org: fixed rejects caused by the original patch getting
linewrapped.]

Gup is used in a few cases, say futex.
This work is derived from the x86 version, and operations of pte and pmd are
adapted to the defines of MIPS in straight forward manner.
[ralf@linux-mips.org: Fixed up reject in arch/mips/mm/Makefile due to
whitespace formatting differences. Fixed build error in gup.c due to
conflicting changes elsewhere in the kernel.]
