John Hubbard 0cd22afdce mm/gup: fix a misnamed "write" argument, and a related bug
In several routines, the "flags" argument is incorrectly named "write".
Change it to "flags".

Also, in one place, the misnaming led to an actual bug:
"flags & FOLL_WRITE" is required, rather than just "flags".
(That problem was flagged by krobot, in v1 of this patch.)

Also, change the flags argument from int, to unsigned int.

You can see that this was a simple oversight, because the
calling code passes "flags" to the fifth argument:

gup_pgd_range():
    ...
    if (!gup_huge_pd(__hugepd(pgd_val(pgd)), addr,
		    PGDIR_SHIFT, next, flags, pages, nr))

...which, until this patch, the callees referred to as "write".

Also, change two lines to avoid checkpatch line length
complaints, and another line to fix another oversight
that checkpatch called out: missing "int" on pdshift.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
