I feel like this is the wrong approach. You could just make a small
lock function and a small unlock function. Except that if statement
seems kind of bogus. What happens if ->fb_count is 0 when we lock and
1 when we unlock? Why not lock unconditionally? It is not likely to be
contested if there are no other users.

This part has nothing to do with locking... *frowny face*
