If you do that then the swap channel will linger in the stasis cache until chan 
comes out of the bridging system; which is likely long after the swap channel 
has been hung up.  Remember ast_bridge_join() is blocking.

If bridge_channel->swap is non-NULL here then the join really did fail and the 
unref is logged to REF_DEBUG as a result of join failure.  If it is NULL then 
there is no unref and no corresponding REF_DEBUG log entry.  ao2_cleanup() is a 
conditional unref.  bridge_channel_internal_join() is blocking so 
bridge_channel->swap cannot still have a ref if the channel successfully joined.
