I didn't catch this until looking through everything after the next
patch, but I think there's a problem with the wakeup here as well. If we
have a busy extent with XFS_EXTENT_BUSY_SKIP_DISCARD set, we immediately
issue a wake from the first xfs_extent_busy_clear() in the cil committed
handler, regardless of whether !SKIP_DISCARD extents exist as well
under the current gen value. I think that means we'd get a premature
wake any time a busy_list has at least one of each type..?
