If the first "if" is false, the second "if" will be false also, because
the vha->req->cnt value has not changed. If the first "if" is true, the
nested second "if" will retest the condition.
The compiler is not at fault, because vha->req->cnt can't be tracked as
it could be modified by another thread/process. It isn't, it's protected
by the ->hardware_lock, but the compiler doesn't know that.
