If we're reducing the locking region here then we should take the lock
after doing the parse_inplace() to reduce the locked region. Nothing
else can be referring to the data since we only just allocated it. I'll
fix that by hand and apply.
Please also send things to the list for the subsystem (linux-kernel if
there's not a specific one).
