I think this is now after ttm_bo_init, and at that point the object is
visible to lru users and everything. So I do think you need to grab locks
here instead of just incrementing the pin count alone.

It's also I think a bit racy, since ttm_bo_init drops the lock, so someone
might have snuck in and evicted the object already.

I think what you need is to call ttm_bo_init_reserved, then ttm_bo_pin,
then ttm_bo_unreserve, all explicitly.
