oradax: make 'cl' a static const structure

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the 'cl' structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in
the kernel tree at the same time.

oradax: convert get_user_pages() --> pin_user_pages()

This code was using get_user_pages_fast(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages_fast() + put_page() calls to
pin_user_pages_fast() + unpin_user_pages() calls.

There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small
part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.

mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool'

To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.

This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.

Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.

NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

There is an except from a document under oradax dir.
It doesn't seem to make much sense to convert this one
to ReST, so let's add it as an included document.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

sparc64: Properly range check DAX completion index

Each Oracle DAX CCB has a corresponding completion area, and the required
number of areas must fit within a previously allocated array of completion
areas beginning at the requested index. Since the completion area index
is specified by a file offset, a user can pass arbitrary values, including
negative numbers. So the index must be thoroughly range checked to prevent
access to addresses outside the bounds of the allocated completion
area array. The index cannot be negative, and it cannot exceed the
total array size, less the number of CCBs requested. The old code did
not check for negative values and was off by one on the upper bound.

sparc64: Oracle DAX driver

DAX is a coprocessor which resides on the SPARC M7 (DAX1) and M8
(DAX2) processor chips, and has direct access to the CPU's L3 caches
as well as physical memory. It can perform several operations on data
streams with various input and output formats. This driver provides a
transport mechanism and has limited knowledge of the various opcodes
and data formats. A user space library provides high level services
and translates these into low level commands which are then passed
into the driver and subsequently the hypervisor and the coprocessor.
The library is the recommended way for applications to use the
coprocessor, and the driver interface is not intended for general use.
