In gsi_channel_update(), a reference count is taken on the last completed transaction "to keep it from completing" before we give the event back to the hardware. Completion processing for that transaction (and any other "new" ones) will not occur until after this function returns, so there's no risk it completing early. So there's no need to take and drop the additional transaction reference. Use local variables in the call to gsi_evt_ring_doorbell().
