Because it can be a wrong entry dying. When we check dying, we don't
yet know if we are looking at the right entry or not. If we
successfully acquire a reference, then recheck nf_ct_key_equal and
_then_ check dying, then we don't need to restart on dying. But with
the current check order, we need to restart on dying too.
