Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm: introduce zone lock wrappers

Add thin wrappers around zone lock acquire/release operations. This
prepares the code for future tracepoint instrumentation without
modifying individual call sites.

Centralizing zone lock operations behind wrappers allows future
instrumentation or debugging hooks to be added without touching
all users.

No functional change intended. The wrappers are introduced in
preparation for subsequent patches and are not yet used.
