commit 98badbfdc222d1d7f346046f23a64522b88d22a0
Author: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
Date:   Tue Aug 2 09:55:32 2022 -0600

    Use gdb_bfd_ref_ptr in objfile
    
    This changes struct objfile to use a gdb_bfd_ref_ptr.  In addition to
    removing some manual memory management, this fixes a use-after-free
    that was introduced by the registry rewrite series.  The issue there
    was that, in some cases, registry shutdown could refer to memory that
    had already been freed.  This help fix the bug by delaying the
    destruction of the BFD reference (and thus the per-bfd object) until
    after the registry has been shut down.
