From: Huaisheng Ye <yehs1@xxxxxxxxxx> In function writecache_writeback, entries g and f has same original sector only happens at entry f has been committed, but entry g has NOT yet. The probability of this happening is very low in the following 256 blocks at most of entry e, so add unlikely for the result.
