Not indefinitely, but it may take time. And because it is not
actually useful before we end up freeing the device link memory. And
I'd rather not do it under the device links write lock.

Well, maybe not "a lot".

But I'm not sure how long this context expects to be sleeping and
sleeping under a mutex potentially blocks others.
