[PATCH v2 1/8] kernel/user: Allow user_struct::locked_vm to be usable for iommufd

Following the pattern of io_uring, perf, skb, and bpf, iommfd will use
user->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages. Ensure the value is included
in the struct and export free_uid() as iommufd is modular.

user->locked_vm is the good accounting to use for ulimit because it is
per-user, and the security sandboxing of locked pages is not supposed to
be per-process. Other places (vfio, vdpa and infiniband) have used
mm->pinned_vm and/or mm->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages, but this
is only per-process and inconsistent with the new FOLL_LONGTERM users in
the kernel.

Concurrent work is underway to try to put this in a cgroup, so everything
can be consistent and the kernel can provide a FOLL_LONGTERM limit that
actually provides security.
