As previously mentioned, I think we want a comment here saying that
hugetlb_no_page will release the locks previously taken in this routine.
Otherwise, readers of this routine may think code is returning without
releasing the locks. Releasing locks in another routine as is done here
is usually discouraged practice. However, I think it is acceptable in
this case. Hence, the need for a comment.
