[PATCH] mm/gup_test: keep longterm pin state per file

["David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>]

The pin longterm test currently stores its data globally, shared among
multiple concurrent users of the interface (multiple open file
descriptors -> multiple "struct file"'s). That makes
the gup_test interface problematic to use concurrently: two users, such
as concurrent selftest runs, can interfere with the same longterm
pin state.

While this has not been observed as a problem so far in practice, let's
just handle it cleanly. There could be a way to trigger selftest
failures by e.g., running the cow.c and gup_longerm.c selftests
concurrently, but we usually run them sequentially. Let's add a "Fixes"
tag to be safe, but not need to CC stable.

Tested with cow+gup_longterm selftests that gup_test infrastructure
keeps working.
