It matters. And invariably, call sites that use set_page_dirty() instead
of set_page_dirty_lock() were already wrong.  Which is why I never had to
provide anything like "unpin_user_pages_dirty (not locked)".

Although in habanalabs case, I just reviewed patch 3 and I think they *were*
correctly using set_page_dirty_lock()...
