[RFC PATCH v2 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.
