Thank you, this looks much more straightforward. I am not super fan of
the requirement to call obj_cgroup_put oudside of drain_obj_stock but
I can live with that. A comment in drain_obj_stock to call that out
explicitly would be nice (can be done as a follow up and have Andrew
fold it in if there is no new resubmission).
