Various textarea tests cause abandoned documents. I looked at fast/forms/textarea-paste-newline.html.

removeFocusNavigationNodeOfSubtree() is called with node == |this|, so the document stores a pointer to itself in a RefPtr, and this is never cleared.

Also affects dom/html/level2/html/HTMLAnchorElement14.html and probably others.

I would have preferred to use a ternary operator here instwad
