Just curious about this comment change...

What does it mean to "control the flag manually?"

humor me here... is it safe to be checking b_ops outside the mutex here, when
it's going to be modified under the lock in force_needsrepair?

I guess the b_bn check covers it, though... is there a reason to check the ops?
