Longterm pinning of FS DAX pages should already be disallowed by
various pXX_devmap checks. However a future change will cause these
checks to be invalid for FS DAX pages so make
folio_is_longterm_pinnable() return false for FS DAX pages.

Why is the check in check_vma_flags() insufficient? GUP-fast maybe?

Right. This came up when I was changing the code for GUP-fast, but also
they shouldn't be longterm pinnable and adding the case to
folio_is_longterm_pinnable() is an excellent way of documenting that.

Makes sense, might be worth adding that (GUP-fast and check_vma_flags()
covering GUP-slow) to the patch description.
