How about we have a helper called panthor_vm_apply_as_lock() that would
only take care of the AS_LOCKADDR() sequence. panthor_vm_lock_region()
would have this WARN_ON(), the pack_region_range() and a call to
panthor_vm_apply_as_lock(). Similarly,
panthor_vm_expand_locked_region() would rely on
panthor_vm_apply_as_lock() to apply the expanded lock.
