    Adding any sort of useful debug usually makes it go away, so I hand
    wrote the function in a line, and debugged the asm.

    Every so often pt->memory->ptrs is NULL. This ptrs ptr is set in
    the nv50_instobj_acquire called from nvkm_kmap.

    If Thread A and Thread B both get to nv50_instobj_acquire around
    the same time, and Thread A hits the refcount_set line, and in
    lockstep thread B succeeds at refcount_inc_not_zero, there is a
    chance the ptrs value won't have been stored since refcount_set
    is unordered. Force a memory barrier here, I picked smp_mb, since
    we want it on all CPUs and it's write followed by a read.

    v2: use paired smp_rmb/smp_wmb.
