Following a try_to_unmap() we may want to remove the userptr and so call
put_pages(). However, try_to_unmap() acquires the page lock and so we
must avoid recursively locking the pages ourselves -- which means that
we cannot safely acquire the lock around set_page_dirty(). Since we
can't be sure of the lock, we have to risk skip dirtying the page, or
else risk calling set_page_dirty() without a lock and so risk fs
corruption.
