[PATCH] arch/cris: use get_user_pages_fast()

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Sun Jan 21 2018 - 18:07:22 EST


Since we currently hold mmap_sem across both gup calls (and
nothing more), we can substitute it with two _fast()
alternatives and possibly avoid grabbing the lock.

This was found while adding mmap_sem wrappers, and was also
previously reported by Al: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/17/777
