When the shrinker runs, it drops the reference. However, there can be multiple store attempts before the shrinker wakes up and runs once. This results in reference leaks and eventual saturation warnings for the pool refcount. Fix this by dropping the reference again when the shrinker is already queued. This ensures one reference per shrinker run.
