      There are several WT_REF locking loops in the code, we should attempt to refactor them to use a helper function rather than cutting-and-pasting them into place. Review the various versions of that loop and see if we can do better.

      Additionally, review all uses of WT_REF.addr to ensure that we properly lock the WT_REF structure as necessary.
