get_user_pages: don't try to follow PFNMAP pages
Nick Piggin points out that a few drivers play games with VM_IO (why? who knows..) and thus a pfn-remapped area may not have that bit set even if remap_pfn_range() set it originally. So make it explicit in get_user_pages() that we don't follow VM_PFNMAP pages, since pretty much by definition they do not have a "struct page" associated with them.
