If the cleanup_refs() function assumes the lock is held it shouldn't 
release it then.  My only goal here was to cleanup the lock usage so 
that it's only manipulated in a single context.

The lock is unlocked a bit before the function ends do the other ttm 
functions cleanup_refs() call require the ability to take the lock?
