I'm not talking about removing drm_gem_shmem_put_pages_locked(), but
replacing the drm_gem_shmem_put_pages_locked() call you have in
drm_gem_shmem_free() by a drm_gem_shmem_free_pages(), so you don't end
up with a lockdep warning when you stop exactly here in the patch
series, which is important if we want to keep things bisectable.
