(Add some words) I think I understand what the race condition could mean
after shrink fs is landed then, but the main point for now is inconsistent
between code and comment, and there is no infrastructure on shrinkfs so
when shrink fs is landed, the locking rule on filestream should be refined
or redesigned and xfs_filestream_flush() for shrinkfs which was once
deleted by 1c1c6ebcf52 might be restored to drain out in-flight
xfs_fstrm_item for these shrink AGs then.
