Subject: Fix zero copy I/O on __get_user_pages allocated pages
Date: Wed, 7 May 2025 10:41:05 -0500

Recent updates to net filesystems enabled zero copy operations, which
require getting a user space page pinned.

This does not work for pages that were allocated via __get_user_pages and
then mapped to user-space via remap_pfn_rage.

remap_pfn_range_internal() will turn on VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP vma bits. 
VM_PFNMAP in particular mark the pages as not having struct_page
associated with them, which is not the case for __get_user_pages()

This in turn makes any attempt to lock a page fail, and breaking I/O from
that address range.

This patch address it by special casing pages in those VMAs and not
calling vm_normal_page() for them.
