Hug, writing the traces for all the possible races would take me really
lots of time. Writing traces is fine for showing _the_ buggy path, but it
doesn't seems the right approch for explaning and understanding how some
new code works. The comment should explain how the new locking works
against swapoff. I'd very much prefer specific questions and
comments.
