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

This reverts commit 54d516b1d6

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
    cd1adf1b63 ("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.
