Michael pointed out offlist that the previous example involved the
address_space_map bounce buffer.

Here is a simpler one that doesn't rely on it:

       VCPU 1                    VCPU 2
       ----------------------------------------------------
       start asynchronous I/O
        pci_dma_sglist_init
         object_ref
       ** releases BQL
                                  eject device
                                   object_unparent
                                    my_device_exit
                                     memory_region_del_subregion
                                     ** cannot yet destroy!!
                                     ** address_space_unmap will use it
       ** gets BQL again
       asynchronous I/O ends
        qemu_sglist_destroy
         object_unref
          instance_finalize
