Release 3.2.83 of upstream stable tree 3.2 includes a fix for this security
issue which is different from the one used in Precise.  I'm proposing to revert
the patch we have in Precise and applying the upstream one.

  Revert "UBUNTU:SAUCE: mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from
    __get_user_pages()"

Michal Hocko (1):
  mm, gup: close FOLL MAP_PRIVATE race
