Yes.  Older kernels had some bugs in this area due to busy extent
tracking, where xfs_alloc_ag_vextent would fail despite
xfs_alloc_fix_freelist picking an AG and possibly dirtying the AGF.
My busy extent tracking changes for the asynchronous discard code in
4.11-rc should have fixed that.

But even with that in place I think that locking two AGFs in any
order in the truncate path is wrong.
