If you refcount ctx, what does that do for the entries in the submit
queue?

"entry" here is kref'ed, but you're popping it off the list regardless
of the put ends up freeing the object or not - which afaict would mean
leaking the object.


On the other hand, with the current implementation an object with higher
refcount with adjacent objects of single refcount would end up with
dangling pointers after the put. So in itself this change seems like a
net gain, but I'm wondering about the plan described in the commit
message.
