First of all, why use-after-free could trigger an imbalance unlock?
IOW, why do we have to solve use-after-free to fix this imbalance
unlock?

Second of all, my patch is _not_ intended to solve any use-after-free,
it only solves the imbalance unlock. I never claim it solves more
anywhere.

Third of all, the use-after-free I can see (race with ->close) exists
before my patch, this patch doesn't make it better or worse, nor
I have any intend to fix it.
