Comment(by nickm):

 > What are we actually fixing with this patch?

 See the commit message on the first of the patches:

     At best, this patch helps us avoid sending queued relayed cells that
     would get ignored during the time between when a destroy cell is
     sent and when the circuit is finally freed.  At worst, it lets us
     release some memory a little earlier than it would otherwise.
