mm/gup: fix GUP-fast fallback for NULL-mapping order-0 folios
Since commit f002882ca369 ("mm: merge folio_is_secretmem() and
folio_fast_pin_allowed() into gup_fast_folio_allowed()"),
gup_fast_folio_allowed() falls back to the slow path for any order-0 folio
with a NULL mapping when CONFIG_SECRETMEM=y. This causes a performance
regression for drivers that allocate pages with alloc_page() and insert
them into VMAs via vm_insert_page(). These pages legitimately have a NULL
folio->mapping, but they cannot be secretmem pages.
Secretmem pages are always added to the secretmem inode's page cache via
filemap_add_folio(), which sets folio->mapping to the inode's i_mapping.
A folio with a NULL mapping can never be a secretmem folio. The
NULL-mapping check was intended to handle truncated file-backed pages (a
reject_file_backed concern), not secretmem detection.
When only check_secretmem is true (and reject_file_backed is false), a
NULL mapping is sufficient to prove the folio is not secretmem, so the
fast path can proceed.
