Please put the unlock after the comment explaining the goto label
so it's clear that the pin is associated only with the read
operations like so:

no_cached_page:
	/*
	 * We're only likely to ever get here if MADV_RANDOM is in
	 * effect.
	 */
	fpin = maybe_unlock_mmap_for_io(vmf->vma, vmf->flags);
	error = page_cache_read(file, offset, vmf->gfp_mask);
	if (fpin)
		goto out_retry;

Same here.
