Revert "mm/gup: small refactoring: simplify try_grab_page()"
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.
