@def is owned by @obj after adding it the node device object list. As soon as
the @obj lock has been released, another thread could free @obj and therefore
@def. If now someone accesses @def this would lead to a heap-use-after-free and
therefore most likely to a segmentation fault, therefore set @def to NULL after
the ownership has moved.

While at it, add comments to other code places why @def is set to NULL.
