I spotted the same checking logic in other places. I don't know whether
it is redundant, I guess it can happen when the namespace is dying.
Probably it cannot happed inside of task do_exit(), only for extern
observers.

Looks like you're right. Given it is do_exit(), the boost is
significant.
I'll send the patch for this thing and the locking part.
Thank you!
