Same problem yet again. It's not safe to release the se_port from it's
tg_pt_gp_mem association, while there are active references from other
process contexts.
Also the same issue with the configfs child / parent reference here,
where returning (instead of waiting for references to drop) introduces a
whole new host of reference counting issues.
NAK.
