    x86/mem_sharing: copy a page_lock version to be internal to memshr
    
    Patch cf4b30dca0a "Add debug code to detect illegal page_lock and 
put_page_type
    ordering" added extra sanity checking to page_lock/page_unlock for debug 
builds
    with the assumption that no hypervisor path ever locks two pages at once.
    
    This assumption doesn't hold during memory sharing so we copy a version of
    page_lock/unlock to be used exclusively in the memory sharing subsystem
    without the sanity checks.
