Well, if you disable everything that possibly use
get_page_unless_zero(), I guess this could work.

But then, you'll have to spy lkml traffic forever to make sure no new
feature is added in the kernel, using this get_page_unless_zero() in a
new clever way.

You could use a page flag so that z BUG() triggers if
get_page_unless_zero() is attempted on one of your precious pages ;)\

We had very subtle issues before my fixes (check
35b7a1915aa33da812074744647db0d9262a555c and children), so I would not
waste time on the lock prefix avoidance at this point.
