mm/gup: stop leaking pinned pages in low memory conditions

If a driver tries to call any of the pin_user_pages*(FOLL_LONGTERM) family
of functions, and requests "too many" pages, then the call will
erroneously leave pages pinned.  This is visible in user space as an
actual memory leak.

Repro is trivial: just make enough pin_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM) calls to
exhaust memory.

The root cause of the problem is this sequence, within
__gup_longterm_locked():

    __get_user_pages_locked()
    rc = check_and_migrate_movable_pages()

...which gets retried in a loop.  The loop error handling is incomplete,
clearly due to a somewhat unusual and complicated tri-state error API. 
But anyway, if -ENOMEM, or in fact, any unexpected error is returned from
check_and_migrate_movable_pages(), then __gup_longterm_locked() happily
returns the error, while leaving the pages pinned.

In the failed case, which is an app that requests (via a device driver)
30720000000 bytes to be pinned, and then exits, I see this:

    $ grep foll /proc/vmstat
        nr_foll_pin_acquired 7502048
        nr_foll_pin_released 2048

And after applying this patch, it returns to balanced pins:

    $ grep foll /proc/vmstat
        nr_foll_pin_acquired 7502048
        nr_foll_pin_released 7502048

Note that the child routine, check_and_migrate_movable_folios(), avoids
this problem, by unpinning any folios in the **folios argument, before
returning an error.

Fix this by making check_and_migrate_movable_pages() behave in exactly the
same way as check_and_migrate_movable_folios(): unpin all pages in
**pages, before returning an error.

Also, documentation was an aggravating factor, so:

1) Consolidate the documentation for these two routines, now that they
have identical external behavior.

2) Rewrite the consolidated documentation:

    a) Clearly list the three return code cases, and what happens in
    each case.

    b) Mention that one of the cases unpins the pages or folios, before
    returning an error code.
