Yes, it should have been declared static. And this also applies to the latest version
(v11). The preferred fix would stay within 80 columns, like this:

diff --git a/mm/gup.c b/mm/gup.c
index c2793a86450e..39b2f683bd2e 100644
--- a/mm/gup.c
+++ b/mm/gup.c
@@ -75,7 +75,8 @@ static inline struct page *try_get_compound_head(struct page *page, int refs)
   * @Return:    the compound head page, with ref appropriately incremented,
   * or NULL upon failure.
   */
-__must_check struct page *try_pin_compound_head(struct page *page, int refs)
+static __must_check struct page *try_pin_compound_head(struct page *page,
+                                                      int refs)
  {
         struct page *head = try_get_compound_head(page,
                                                   GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS * refs);
