Other architectures have a __get_user_pages_fast(), in addition to the
regular get_user_pages_fast(), which doesn't call get_user_pages() on
failure, and thus doesn't attempt to fault pages in or COW them. The
generic KVM code uses __get_user_pages_fast() to detect whether a page
for which we have only requested read access is actually writable.
This provides an implementation of __get_user_pages_fast() by
splitting the existing get_user_pages_fast() in two. With this, the
generic KVM code will get the right answer instead of always
considering such pages non-writable.
