Hmmm, nice catch.

Looks like Eric dropped this line when he forward ported this patch to
v3.1.  Interestingly, I did test this using xfstests, and it didn't
complain.  Which probably means we don't have a good test coverage
that triggers the specific preconditions of this optimization.  Oops.
I'll fix this up now.

Eric, when you have a chance, could you work up an xfstests test that
automates the various tests that you ran manually when you developed
this patch?  Thanks!!
