[PATCH v8 10/10] mm: Renumber FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET down

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Jan 23 2023 - 12:33:26 EST


Renumber FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET down to bit 0 and 1 respectively so that
they are coincidentally the same as BIO_PAGE_PINNED and BIO_PAGE_REFFED and
also so that they can be stored in the bottom two bits of a page pointer
(something I'm looking at for zerocopy socket fragments).

(Note that BIO_PAGE_REFFED should probably be got rid of at some point,
hence why FOLL_PIN is at 0.)

Also renumber down the other FOLL_* flags to close the gaps.

Notes:
ver #8)
- Put FOLL_PIN at bit 0 and FOLL_GET at bit 1 to match BIO_PAGE_*.
- Renumber the remaining flags down to fill in the gap.
