mm: unexport __get_user_pages()

This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.

Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
this function from its one user, kvm.

We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
__get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
stacks:

  get_user_page_nowait():
    get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
    __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
    __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
		     flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)

  check_user_page_hwpoison():
    get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
    __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
    __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,
		     NULL, NULL)
