Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] mm: Provide a function to get an additional pin on a page

Provide a function to get an additional pin on a page that we already have
a pin on.  This will be used in fs/direct-io.c when dispatching multiple
bios to a page we've extracted from a user-backed iter rather than redoing
the extraction.

Notes:
    ver #4)
     - Use _inc rather than _add ops when we're just adding 1.
    
    ver #3)
     - Rename to folio_add_pin().
     - Change to using is_zero_folio()
