Let me decode the length:

'Wait on children' (in __emit_fini_breadcrumb_parent_no_preempt_mid_batch) = 4 * num_children
'Turn on preemption' (in __emit_fini_breadcrumb_parent_no_preempt_mid_batch) = 2
'Tell children go' (in __emit_fini_breadcrumb_parent_no_preempt_mid_batch) = 4
'Emit fini breadcrumb' (in emit_fini_breadcrumb_child_no_preempt_mid_batch) = 4
'User interrupt' (in emit_fini_breadcrumb_child_no_preempt_mid_batch) = 2

So for a total (emit_fini_breadcrumb_dw) we have '12 + 4 * num_children'

We want skip everything in __emit_fini_breadcrumb_parent_no_preempt_mid_batch, so that is
'6 + 4 * num_children' or 'emit_fini_breadcrumb_dw - 6'

Make sense?

I think it because the ring space is reserved at request creation time
but the fini breadcrumbs are not written until submission time.

I guess that works too, I personally like the way it is but if you
insist I can change it.

Same as above we are NOP the length of
__emit_fini_breadcrumb_child_no_preempt_mid_batch and still want the
emit breadcrumbs below.
