Hi Lukas:

When running the large_file_creates_threads=192 workload with this patch on an
-rc5 kernel, I consistently saw a new failure. The ext4lazyinit thread stalled
(tripping hung task detector) along with the flusher and journal threads, and
ffsb then ceased to make forward progress.

I think we're just seeing a new variant of the original race, where
bio_batch_end_io() sometimes never gets the value of &bb->done it's waiting
for:

bio_batch_end_io()
  ...
complete(bb->wait)
