Not sure, it's guarded by vm->mutex.

Normally you're correct, this is normally the case, but we drain freed objects and this path should only be run during s/r, at which point userspace should be dead, GPU idle, and we just drained all freed objects above.

It would be a bug if we still found a dead object, as nothing should be running.

Should be harmless, but first one should probably be removed. :)
