I'm taking this lock because I want to ensure that losers only loop
once. The problem is that just because you lost the race in populate(),
it's not guaranteed that as_ref() will return Some on the next
iteration, since the winner of the race may still be busy executing
populate(). Taking the loop avoids this possibility.

With regards to as_ref_or_populate(), I point you to this discussion for
reasons why this is hard:
