Suppose at this point there's still an outstanding loop_cmd to be
serviced for this worker. The refcount_dec_and_test should decrement
the refcount and then fail the conditional, not calling
loop_release_worker. What happens if __loop_free_idle_workers fires
again before the loop_cmd is processed? Won't you decrement the
refcount again, and then end up calling loop_release_worker before the
loop_cmd is processed?
