try_get_folio() takes in a page, then chooses to do some folio operations based on the flags (either FOLL_GET or FOLL_PIN). We can rewrite this function to be more purpose oriented. After calling try_get_folio(), if neither FOLL_GET nor FOLL_PIN are set, warn and fail. If FOLL_GET is set we can return the result. If FOLL_GET is not set then FOLL_PIN is set, so we pin the folio. This change assists with folio conversions, and makes the function more readable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
