Registering the dump as root happens rather late.  The relocation code
allocates a hash table and stores a reference to it in
comp_u->lambda_gc_guard_h.  By that time the dump should already be a
root.  Can we register the dump earlier?  AFAIU, the dumper writes zeros
in the cells for to-be-relocated references and the scan code will
ignore them.  So I think this could work:
