Isn't it better to add "shared" to the error message to clarify which buffers
are involved, as the local-buffer message does?
For example, "no unpinned shared buffers available" or
"could not find an unpinned shared buffer".

BTW, I prefer the latter because "could not" describes the failed attempt
more clearly. If we adopt this, for consistency, it might be better to
also change the local-buffer message to something like
"could not find an unpinned local buffer".
