mm: make __access_remote_vm() static

Patch series "various improvements to the GUP interface", v2.

A series of fixes to simplify and improve the GUP interface with an eye to
providing groundwork to future improvements:-

* __access_remote_vm() and access_remote_vm() are functionally identical,
  so make the former static such that in future we can potentially change
  the external-facing implementation details of this function.

* Extend is_valid_gup_args() to cover the missing FOLL_TOUCH case, and
  simplify things by defining INTERNAL_GUP_FLAGS to check against.

* Adjust __get_user_pages_locked() to explicitly treat a failure to pin any
  pages as an error in all circumstances other than FOLL_NOWAIT being
  specified, bringing it in line with the nommu implementation of this
  function.

* (With many thanks to Arnd who suggested this in the first instance)
  Update get_user_page_vma_remote() to explicitly only return a page or an
  error, simplifying the interface and avoiding the questionable
  IS_ERR_OR_NULL() pattern.


This patch (of 4):

access_remote_vm() passes through parameters to __access_remote_vm()
directly, so remove the __access_remote_vm() function from mm.h and use
access_remote_vm() in the one caller that needs it (ptrace_access_vm()).

This allows future adjustments to the GUP-internal __access_remote_vm()
function while keeping the access_remote_vm() function stable.
