* removed from that lookup structure in the object destructor.
* Operations on such objects require at least a read lock around
* lookup + kref_get, and a write lock around kref_put + remove from lookup
* structure. Furthermore, RCU implementations become extremely tricky.
* With a lookup followed by a kref_get_unless_zero *with return value check*
* locking in the kref_put path can be deferred to the actual removal from
* the lookup structure and RCU lookups become trivial.
