Right, my bad. I began to update the DRM-SHMEM shrinker patches on top
of the shrinker helper, but missed that the lock is shared when was
looking at this patch again today.

Adding comment to the code about the shared lock may help a tad, but
it's not really necessary. It was my fault that I forgot about it.

Thank you!
