There are a few flows where a page can be removed without holding a lock,
e.g. when the enclave is being released, and for Version Array (VA) pages,
which are not associated with a single enclave. We could probably force
a lockdep assert with an extra parameter, but I'm not sure that'd be a net
positive.
