mm/gup_test: keep longterm pin state per file

Browse source

The pin longterm test currently stores its data globally, shared among
multiple concurrent users of the interface (multiple open file descriptors
-> multiple "struct file"'s).  That makes the gup_test interface
problematic to use concurrently: two users, such as concurrent selftest
runs, can interfere with the same longterm pin state.

While this has not been observed as a problem so far in practice, let's
just handle it cleanly.  There could be a way to trigger selftest failures
by e.g., running the cow.c and gup_longerm.c selftests concurrently, but
we usually run them sequentially.  Let's add a "Fixes" tag to be safe, but
not need to CC stable.
