While reviewing some of the other things going on around gup.c, I
noticed that the documentation was wrong for a few of the routines that
I wrote. And then I noticed that there was some significant code
duplication too. So this fixes those issues.

This is not entirely risk-free, but after looking closely at this, I
think it's actually a useful improvement, getting rid of the code
duplication here. The try_get_page() in particular seems better now,
even if there are a few more "if" branches in there.

However, it is possible I've overlooked something. I did some local LTP
and other testing on an x86 test machine but failed to find any problems
yet.

Also, this is based on today's linux-next (next-20210806), in order to
stay reasonably close to mmotm. So I know that this short series doesn't
conflict with the folio-so-far patches in linux-next, anyway.
