Don't put trailing punctation in shortlogs, i.e. drop the period.

s/pinning/getting (or maybe grabbing?), because "pinning" is already way too
overloaded in the context of gup(), e.g. FOLL_PIN vs. FOLL_GET.

"read-only faults" is somewhat confusing, because every architecture passes a
non-NULL @writable for read faults.  If it weren't for KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS,
this could be "faults to read-only memslots".  Not sure how to concisely and
accurately describe this.  :-/
