debugobjects: Stop accessing objects after releasing hash bucket lock


After release of the hashbucket lock the tracking object can be modified or
freed by a concurrent thread.  Using it in such a case is error prone, even
for printing the object state:

    1. T1 tries to deactivate destroyed object, debugobjects detects it,
       hash bucket lock is released.

    2. T2 preempts T1 and frees the tracking object.

    3. The freed tracking object is allocated and initialized for a
       different to be tracked kernel object.

    4. T1 resumes and reports error for wrong kernel object.

Create a local copy of the tracking object before releasing the hash bucket
lock and use the local copy for reporting and fixups to prevent this.
