Re: [PATCH] mm/gup: Use try_grab_page() instead of try_grab_folio() in gup slow path

I was complaining that switching from a folio to a page interface
is a retro-step. But try_grab_page and try_grab_folio actually
both take a strut page argument and do similar but different things.
Yikes!

This would now make it a try_grab_pages. Also please try to avoid
the overly lone lines here and in the external declaration.
