Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by post-processing the VMA list. These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM. Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many call sites. Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged when DAX is compiled out. Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
