Hi Xuanqiang,

Thanks for the review. You're right that this effectively restores the
stale-refcount window fixed by 439cd39ea136. I was aware of that
trade-off, but focused first on preventing the kernel BUG that can be
triggered by an unprivileged user. I agree that the final fix should
address both issues.

I'll rework the fix and send a v2.

Suggestions on the preferred approach are welcome.

Thanks,
Cen
