// Uggh. With the current design, it's possible that the trywritelock will block on the writeback thread.
// That leaves us with few options, so we expose two sets of semantics up to the caller.
// This used to call writelock while holding a hashtable bucket lock, risking deadlock if called when the page was pinned.
// We could assume that the caller knows what it's doing, and writeback regardless of whether the page is
// pinned. This could allow torn pages to reach disk, and would risk calling page compaction, etc while the
// page is concurrently read. However, it would prevent us from blocking on application pins. Unfortunately,
// compacting under during application reads is a deal breaker.
// Instead, we release the hashtable lock, get the write latch, then double check the pageid.
// This is safe, since we know that page pointers are never freed, only reused. However, it causes writeback
// to block waiting for application threads to unpin their pages.
// Since this isn't a hint, the page is not pinned. Therefore, the following will only deadlock if the caller is buggy.
