mm/gup: remove the vma allocation from gup_longterm_locked()

Long ago there wasn't a FOLL_LONGTERM flag so this DAX check was done by
post-processing the VMA list.

These days it is trivial to just check each VMA to see if it is DAX before
processing it inside __get_user_pages() and return failure if a DAX VMA is
encountered with FOLL_LONGTERM.

Removing the allocation of the VMA list is a significant speed up for many
call sites.

Add an IS_ENABLED to vma_is_fsdax so that code generation is unchanged
when DAX is compiled out.

Remove the dummy version of __gup_longterm_locked() as !CONFIG_CMA already
makes memalloc_nocma_save(), check_and_migrate_cma_pages(), and
memalloc_nocma_restore() into a NOP.
