This is a private function that was always* called after d->ref.deref()
returned false to free the linked list. Still, it needlessly verified
the reference count to be zero.
The check is thus replaced with a Q_ASSERT to check the invariant on
debug builds.
*This commit also fixes an issue where free would be called on a block
that hadn't been deref'ed, thus leaking the nodes. Since this was in an
exception handling block, and happens before any code has a chance to
reference the block the explicit deref is skipped in that case.
