Indeed, and for snp_reclaim_pages() too by the looks of it. Will fix that up,
along with all the other suggestions.

In that case, the lock isn't actually taken. locked==true is basically
used to tell the code to not to try to acquire the lock, but the caller
is relying on the fact that all the other CPUs are stopped at that point
so there's no need to protect against multiple concurrent firmware
commands being issued.

There's another case that will be introduced in the next version of this
series (likely right after this patch) to handle a bug where the buffer used
to access INIT_EX non-volatile data needs to be transitioned to
firmware-owned beforehand. In that case, the CCP cleanup path introduces
another caller of __snp_free_firmware_pages() where locked==true. Maybe this
can be revisited in that context.
