Can we please simply kill your lock_page_slow wrapper and rename the
arguments taking __lock_page_slow to lock_page_slow?  All too many
variants of the locking functions aren't all that useful and there's
very few users.

Similarly I don't really think __lock_page is an all that useful name here.
What about lock_page_wq?  or aio_lock_page to denote it has special
meaning in aio contect?  Then again because of these special sematics
we need a bunch of really verbose kerneldoc comments for this function
famility.
