I think it's right to not change unlock order at the same time as a
bugfix here. More generally I think it can often be useful to default
to release locks in the inverse order they've been acquired - if there's
any likelihood that somebody will acquire them in the same order, that
ensures that such a party would only need to wait for a lock once,
instead of being woken up for one lock, and then immediately having to
wait for the next one.
