This comment looks a bit weird now that you call a function that
doesn't have the _locked suffix. I'd be tempted to drop it, or clarify
the fact drm_gem_shmem_object_pin() expects the resv lock to be held.

Should this be moved to drm_gem_shmem_[un]pin_locked() instead of being
duplicated in all overloads of ->[un]pin()?
