Some cleanups around function names, comments and the config option of
"GUP-fast" -- GUP without "lock" safety belts on.

With this cleanup it's easy to judge which functions are GUP-fast specific.
We now consistently call it "GUP-fast", avoiding mixing it with "fast GUP",
"lockless", or simply "gup" (which I always considered confusing in the
ode).

So the magic now happens in functions that contain "gup_fast", whereby
gup_fast() is the entry point into that magic. Comments consistently
reference either "GUP-fast" or "gup_fast()".

Based on mm-unstable from today. I won't CC arch maintainers, but only
arch mailing lists, to reduce noise.

Tested on x86_64, cross compiled on a bunch of archs, whereby some of them
don't properly even compile on mm-unstable anymore in my usual setup
(alpha, arc, parisc64, sh) ... maybe the cross compilers are outdated,
but there are no new ones around. Hm.
