Commit b9496d0cc02900b74f01f294b76d3af9f3b12bfe in the 3.13.y-ckt tree is an
incomplete backport of upstream commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7.
The commit notes that the changes to mm/gup.c were omitted - presumably because
that file didn't exist in 3.13. However, the relevant code does exist in
3.13.y - it just hadn't been split out from mm/memory.c yet.
This introduced a regression in the Ubuntu kernel that resulted in panics
on arm64 when running the coreutils test suite:

This commit completes the backport by retrofiting the missing changes to
mm/memory.c. This does not appear to impact upstream stable kernels. I checked
3.12.y, and it has already included these changes in the initial backport.
