* Inside a critical section, memory is always locked.
*
* After leaving the critical section, memory stays locked until
* memlock_unlock() is called. This happens with
* sync_local_dev_names() and sync_dev_names().
*
* This allows critical sections to be entered and exited repeatedly without
* incurring the expense of locking memory every time.
*
* memlock_reset() is necessary to clear the state after forking (polldaemon).
