We discussed this earlier and I really should have brought it up then,
but what is this check about?  We "know" (scare quotes) that it is true
because we're inside a for_each_set_bit() loop.  I had assumed it was to
test for race conditions so that's why I put it under the lock.  If the
locking doesn't matter then we could just do a clear_bit() without doing
a second test.
