Most of this comment seems rather pointless as it explains the how and
not the why. Additionally it is out of data (we don't hold inodes for
transactions anymore), and partially below the code it claims to
document. Given that you explain the why pretty well in the top of the
function document I'd drop this entirely.

The ilock here is rather pointless now that we do nothing underneath
it but checking two different integral values.
Something like this additional cleanup might be nice now, with
the function split being rather pointless now:
