Not a very informative comment, I'd have to say. How are users of
this API expected to avoid stepping on each others' and API
implementation's toes?

What is this change about?
Does the lifetime rule for "struct lock_file" described in
Documentation/technical/api-lockfile.txt, namely, "once you call
hold_lock_file_* family on it, you cannot free it yourself", have
any implication on this?

Hmph, does this mean that the caller needs to keep track of the refs
it ever touched inside a single transaction, call this without nolock
on the first invocation on a particular ref and with nolock on the
subsequent invocation?
Or is the "caller" just implementation detail of the API and higher level
callers do not have to care?
