Looks right to me.
Some comments below.

Shouldn't the value returned by `save_restriction_save` include the
narrowing locks already?

IOW rather than changing this `bytecode.c` code, the locks handling
should be "hidden" inside `save_restriction_restore` and
`save_restriction_save`, don't you think?
