hmm, if we're not cloning then fid == old_fid and the refcount is not
increased? (I think... I didn't even realize/remember that walk had a
no-clone mode, sorry.)

So we'd only need to clunk if old fid here if we're cloning (old fid is
the initial root fid), but I'm not sure how to test this path as I
couldn't think of any pattern that'd trigger a multi-level lookup,
so I'm not 100% sure; I'll try a bit more.
