This method is both a convenience method to obtain the permit, as well
as an abstraction to allow different implementations to get creative.
For example, the main implementation, the one in multishard mutation
query returns the permit of the saved reader one was successful. This
ensures that on a multi-paged read the same permit is used across as
much pages as possible. Much more importantly it ensures the evictable
reader wrapping the actual reader both use the same permit.
