mm/gup: allow FOLL_FORCE for get_user_pages_fast()

Browse Source 
Commit 817be129e6 ("mm: validate get_user_pages_fast flags") allowed
only FOLL_WRITE and FOLL_LONGTERM to be passed to get_user_pages_fast().
This, combined with the fact that get_user_pages_fast() falls back to
"slow gup", which *does* accept FOLL_FORCE, leads to an odd situation:
if you need FOLL_FORCE, you cannot call get_user_pages_fast().

There does not appear to be any reason for filtering out FOLL_FORCE.
There is nothing in the _fast() implementation that requires that we
avoid writing to the pages.  So it appears to have been an oversight.

Fix by allowing FOLL_FORCE to be set for get_user_pages_fast().
