[PATCH v2] Revert mm/gup: small refactoring: simplify try_grab_page()

[John Hubbard]

This reverts commit 54d516b1d62ff8f17cee2da06e5e4706a0d00b8a

That commit did a refactoring that effectively combined fast and slow
gup paths (again). And that was again incorrect, for two reasons:

a) Fast gup and slow gup get reference counts on pages in different ways
and with different goals: see Linus' writeup in commit cd1adf1b63a1
("Revert "mm/gup: remove try_get_page(), call try_get_compound_head()
directly""), and

b) try_grab_compound_head() also has a specific check for "FOLL_LONGTERM
&& !is_pinned(page)", that assumes that the caller can fall back to slow
gup. This resulted in new failures, as recently report by Will McVicker
[1].

But (a) has problems too, even though they may not have been reported
yet. So just revert this.
