mm/gup: add FOLL_UNLOCKABLE
Setting FOLL_UNLOCKABLE allows GUP to lock/unlock the mmap lock on its
own. It is a more explicit replacement for locked != NULL. This clears
the way for passing in locked = 1, without intending that the lock can be
unlocked.
Set the flag in all cases where it is used, eg locked is present in the
external interface or locked is used internally with locked = 0.
