No, pinned pages can't be paged out.

But a short term pin implies it will be release after a short delay,
and it is feasible for wait for the pin to go away.

For a long term pin waiting is not an option, and anyone wanting to
do something with the pinned page that requires it to not be pinned
must simply give up.

That's a very use clear case for a long term pin.
