Maybe go with a literal name, unless we expect additional usage? E.g.
kvm_mmu_(un)lock_for_page_fault() isn't terrible.

I'm not a fan of the kvm_mmu_lock_for_root() variants. "for_root" doesn't have
an obvious connection to the page fault handler or to the read/shared mode of
the TDP. But, the name is also specific enough to pique my curiosity and make
me wonder what's it's doing.
