ds: workaround a memory leak in Perl 5.16.x

The perl-5.16.3-294.el7_6 RPM package on RHEL/CentOS 7 is
affected by a memory leak in Perl when calling `ref' on
blessed references.  This resulted in a very slow leak that
manifests more quickly with a nonstop "git fetch" loop.

Use Scalar::Util::blessed to work around the issue.
Tested overnight on a CentOS 7 VM.
