Hm, but panthor_heap_pool_release() doesn't release the heap contexts, it just calls xa_destroy(). If we have objects remaining in the xarray, they'll be leaked, but that's not a race. BTW, can we make this two separate patches. I feel like the thing on the vm is an actual fix, while the second one (adding a helper with a lockdep_assert()) is safety net that's worth having, but not necessarily something we need to backport.
