My question was more about enforcing that going forward, since you're
working to remove all the sleeps from invalidate_range_end. I don't
want to add debug annotations which are stricter than what the other
side actually expects. But since currently there is still sleeping
locks in invalidate_range_end I think I'll just stick them in both
places. You can then (re)move it when the cleanup lands.
