Problem
If we are GC-ing because a new image layer was added while traversing the timeline, then it will remove layers that are required for fulfilling the current get request (read-path cannot "look back" and notice the new image layer).
Summary of Changes
Prevent GC from progressing on the current timeline while it is being visited for a read.
