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 this called "folio_is_device_dax()" when the check is for fsdax?
I would expect:
if (folio_is_fsdax(folio))
return false;
...and s/device_dax/fsdax/ for the rest of the helpers.

Specifically devdax is ok to allow longterm pinning since it is
statically allocated. fsdax is the only ZONE_DEVICE mode where there is
a higher-level allocator that does not support a 3rd party the block its
operations indefinitely with a pin. So this needs to be explicit for
that case.

Yeah, that all makes sense. I see what I did - was thinking in terms of
is this a zone device page - is_device - and if so what type
_(fs)dax. folio_is_fsdax() is much clearer though, thanks!
