Callback registrations MUST be undone, and pending callback invocation MUST
be completed, BEFORE any data that the said callback uses is released.
Callbacks always need to use some data (at least a lock and some private
data), otherwise they are most certainly useless. Therefore callbacks
pretty much ALWAYS need to be unregistered EXPLICITLY and in the right
order: unregister then wait for completion then delete useful data.
