mm, gup: add missing refcount overflow checks on x86 and s390
The mainline commit 8fde12ca79af ("mm: prevent get_user_pages() from
overflowing page refcount") was backported to 4.9.y stable as commit
2ed768cfd895. The backport however missed that in 4.9, there are several
arch-specific gup.c versions with fast gup implementations, so these do not
prevent refcount overflow.
This is partially fixed for x86 in stable-only commit d73af79742e7 ("x86, mm,
gup: prevent get_page() race with munmap in paravirt guest"). This stable-only
commit adds missing parts to x86 version, as well as s390 version, both taken
from the SUSE SLES/openSUSE 4.12-based kernels.
The remaining architectures with own gup.c are sparc, mips, sh. It's unlikely
the known overflow scenario based on FUSE, which needs 140GB of RAM, is a
problem for those architectures, and I don't feel confident enough to patch
them.
