mm: gup: allow FOLL_PIN to scale in SMP

has_pinned cannot be written by each pin-fast or it won't scale in SMP.
This isn't "false sharing" strictly speaking (it's more like "true
non-sharing"), but it creates the same SMP scalability bottleneck of
"false sharing".

To verify the improvement, below test is done on 40 cpus host with
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz (must be with
CONFIG_GUP_TEST=y):

  $ sudo chrt -f 1 ./gup_test -a  -m 512 -j 40

Where we can get (average value for 40 threads):

  Old kernel: 477729.97 (+- 3.79%)
  New kernel:  89144.65 (+-11.76%)

On a similar condition with 256 cpus, this commits increases the SMP
scalability of pin_user_pages_fast() executed by different threads of the
same process by more than 4000%.
