This change applies some performance improvements by avoiding unneeded references in the internal FiberMap. This is a purely internal change that comes with 100% code coverage and does not otherwise affect the public API, so it should be safe to apply.
This happens to show a ~10% performance improvement in my synthetic benchmark:
async(function () { $promise = resolve(42); $n = 10_000_000; for ($i = 0; $i < $n; ++$i) { await($promise); } })(); // old: 3.9s // new: 3.5s

This code path only affects v4, so there is no need to backport this to v3 or v2.
