I think one of the reasons that I didn't apply this to mainline myself
is that "Now that" comment.  When is the "now" that it is referring to?
Are were sure that all code in mainline "can handle dying objects
correctly"??

It seems odd to add this comment here, when it seems to describe code
that is being removed.
I can see that this comment is added by the upstream patch
Commit: fa14bdf6b648 ("LU-9049 obdclass: change object lookup to no wait mode")
but I cannot see what it refers to.

Otherwise that patch looks good.

Thanks,
