Setting FOLL_UNLOCKABLE allows GUP to lock/unlock the mmap lock on its own. It is a more explicit replacement for locked != NULL. This clears the way for passing in locked = 1, without intending that the lock can be unlocked. Set the flag in all cases where it is used, eg locked is present in the external interface or locked is used internally with locked = 0.

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.
