Previously we were doing virt_lock() / virt_unlock() which automatically
were making sure to unlock GIL before locking virtmem, and to restore
GIL state to previous after virtmem lock happened. virt_unlock() was
unlocking just the virtmem lock without touching GIL at all - that works
because the running code would eventually release GIL as python
regularly does so to allowing multiple threads to run.

In the next patch however, we'll need to wait for in-progress-loading
page to complete, and that wait has to be done with GIL released (so
other python threads could run), and for doing so we'll need
functionality to make sure GIL is unlocked and retake it back, not tied
to virt_lock().

So factor it out.
