kref_get is atomic, so why would you need to add additional locking?

Neither can the request be 'put' by another process before media_request_get()
is called due to the fget() above: while the fd has a refcount > 0 the
request refcount is also > 0. I'll add some comments to clarify this.

This doesn't need any serialization. If the request_fd is found, then
it will return the request with the request refcount increased.

I also do not understand what you mean with "some other task might be
trying to instantiate it".

I think there is some misunderstanding here.
