In the case were somebody else nukes an object (de-dup, length
restriction) the objcore is taken off the objhdr list by that
thread and delivered to EXP on its "inbox" list, so no further
objhdr locking will be required.

The trick is that the objcore can hang out on the exp-inbox list
until its refcount becomes zero.

For LRU and obj.keep expiry, there's no way around locking objhead
if we want to recover the storage in a timely way.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
