#2 shouldn't be happening before kill_ref_fn() is done with the css. If what
you're saying is happening, what's broken is the fact that the refcnt is
reaching 0 prematurely.

If you do that, you'd just be racing the free path against the kill path and
the css might get freed while the kill path is still accessing it.

Thanks.
