Description

A few examples:

• https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/actions/runs/3368026889/jobs/5586109693#step:10:3813
• https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/actions/runs/3368024633/jobs/5586105172#step:9:3813

I suspect this is because the HeadRecordBatchReader is resetting the shared_ptr to its parent...in ARROW-18174 we discovered that this was causing crashes in some places.
