That's a very indirect and obfuscated way of handling it.

And I still don't know why we let the first contiguous set of expired
entries in the chain get freed outside of the lock, and the rest
inside the lock.  That really isn't explained by anything I've read.

How about we just do exactly what's intended, and with no ifdefs?
