PS4, Line 409: 		talloc_steal(osmo_fsm_inst_terminating_root, fi);
I am reparenting "any" FSM instance as a child of "any other" in the order of release events, to save us having to create a separate talloc_ctx to steal into. However, talloc manpage says:

       It is possible to produce loops in the parent/child relationship if you are not careful with talloc_steal(). No
       guarantees are provided as to your sanity or the safety of your data if you do this.

So after all it seems like a bad idea to do this optimization. We don't want to risk our sanity, right.
