This is trickier than the previous conversions. We have backref_node's that need to hold onto their root for their lifetime. Do the read of the root and grab the ref. If at any point we don't use the root we discard it, however if we use it in our backref node we don't free it until we free the backref node. Any time we switch the root's for the backref node we need to drop our ref on the old root and grab the ref on the new root, and if we dupe a node we need to get a ref on the root there as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
