v0.8.8

If no free registry id found, we call protect_lua! macro while keeping mutex guard to the unref list.
Protected calls can trigger garbage collection and if RegistryKey is placed in userdata being collected, this can lead to deadlock.
The solution is drop mutex guard as soon as possible.
Also this commit includes optimization in creating reference in Lua registry.
