Fine with me.

Please don't use "foo()" to refer to a function 'foo': that looks like
a call of 'foo' with no arguments, which is not what you want.  Our
convention is to use 'foo' instead, quoted 'like this'.

I'd rephrase "... and otherwise ignores the error".

This will sound better if you rename the argument:

  (defun userlock--handle-unlock-error (error)
    "Report an ERROR that occurred while unlocking a file."
