From: yangge <yangge1116@126.com>

When pin_user_pages_fast() pins SEV guest memory without the
FOLL_LONGTERM flag, the pages will not get migrated out of MIGRATE_CMA/
ZONE_MOVABLE, violating these mechanisms to avoid fragmentation with
unmovable pages, for example making CMA allocations fail.

To address the aforementioned problem, we propose adding the
FOLL_LONGTERM flag to the pin_user_pages_fast() function.
