This will put the object on the shrinker list a little earlier than if
we rely on the adjust_lru() from object_unlock() only, but is that
strictly necessary? I figure even if the shrinker picks the object up,
it will fail in the object trylock and ignore the object, until we call
object_unlock() anyway?

I guess this is not *strictly* necessary at this point, since the
shrinker has a kref_get_unless_zero() guard, but I guess we need to
remove the object from the shrinker LRU at some point during
destruction anyway.
