You can actually remove even more here.

The entire concept of deferred_handle is about serializing free with
reclaim. It can all go: OBJ_DEFERRED_HANDLE_TAG, the member in struct
link_free, this function here, find_deferred_handle_obj() (declaration
and implementation), free_handles(), and the deferred handle bits in
obj_free() including the handle parameter itself.
