I thought the "waiting for requests" was clue enough as to why this
didn't affect the unbound list. :)

^ That's fine.

I still want the reference to the eviction logic here though. As that is
the other place where we perform this dance. (We used to do this in
get_fence as well, but we rewrote that to avoid retire_requests
instead.)

That's ok.

Just include a cross-reference to the eviction logic, and I'm happy with
the changed comments.
