There's two refcounts here, one is the handle_count, and the other is
the underlying object refcount. I think the code is correct, except if
you race with a 2nd thread which destroys the object (through the
handle) while we still try to read gem_object->size in the caller of
this. So correct fix (I think at least) is to shuffle that temporary
reference on the object (not the handle) we hold while constructing it
around a bit, so there's no use-after free anymore in the case of a
race. I'm typing a patch for this.

Cheers, Daniel
