This patch isn't applyable because your mailer has changed all the tabs
to spaces.

I also think there's no need to do it this way.  I think what we need
is for fc_bsg_remove() to wait until the bsg queue is drained.  It does
look like the author thought this happened otherwise the code wouldn't
have the note.  If we fix it that way we can do the same thing in all
the other transport classes that use bsg (which all have a similar
issue).
