xen/gntdev: Use VM_MIXEDMAP instead of VM_IO to avoid NUMA balancing
Commit 9c17d96500f7 ("xen/gntdev: Grant maps should not be subject to NUMA balancing") set VM_IO flag to prevent grant maps from being subjected to NUMA balancing. It was discovered recently that this flag causes get_user_pages() to always fail with -EFAULT. check_vma_flags __get_user_pages __get_user_pages_locked __get_user_pages_unlocked get_user_pages_fast iov_iter_get_pages dio_refill_pages do_direct_IO do_blockdev_direct_IO do_blockdev_direct_IO ext4_direct_IO_read generic_file_read_iter aio_run_iocb (which can happen if guest's vdisk has direct-io-safe option). To avoid this let's use VM_MIXEDMAP flag instead --- it prevents NUMA balancing just as VM_IO does and has no effect on check_vma_flags().
