From: Javier González <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx> When cleaning up buffer entries as we wrap up, their state should be "completed". If any of the entries is in "submitted" state, it means that something bad has happened. Trigger a warning immediately instead of waiting for the state flag to eventually be updated, thus hiding the issue.
