In most async cases we already have a memory context for the request
state, which makes a perfectly adequate parent for short-lived
tallocations. It may mean passing mem_ctx arguments around a bit more,
but is IMO far less error prone and easier to follow compared to random
usage of the talloc_tos() global and subsequent garbage collection.
