follow_page() doesn't use FOLL_PIN, meanwhile hugetlb seems to not be the
target of FOLL_WRITE either. However add the checks.

Namely, either the need to CoW due to missing write bit, or proper
unsharing on !AnonExclusive pages over R/O pins to reject the follow page.
That brings this function closer to follow_hugetlb_page().

So we don't care before, and also for now. But we'll care if we switch
over slow-gup to use hugetlb_follow_page_mask(). We'll also care when to
return -EMLINK properly, as that's the gup internal api to mean "we should
unshare". Not really needed for follow page path, though.

When at it, switching the try_grab_page() to use WARN_ON_ONCE(), to be
clear that it just should never fail. When error happens, instead of
setting page==NULL, capture the errno instead.

No need to check if the page is writable (like all other callers and as gup_must_unshare() documents -- "for which pages that are write-protected in the page table")

if (!huge_pte_write(entry) && gup_must_unshare(vma, flags, page)) {


With that
