Can't ->get_ts_info sleep now? It'd be a little sad to force it 
to be atomic just because of one upper dev trying to be fancy.
Maybe all we need to do is to take a ref on the real_dev?

Also please add a Link: to the previous discussion, it'd have been
useful to get the context in which Vladimir suggested this.
