From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> If we are processing callbacks on an iclog, nothing can be concurrently adding callbacks to the loop. We only add callbacks to the iclog when they are in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state, and we explicitly do not add callbacks if the iclog is already in IOERROR state. The only way to have a dequeue racing with an enqueue is to be processing a shutdown without a direct reference to an iclog in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state. As the enqueue avoids this race condition, we only ever need a single dequeue operation in xlog_state_do_iclog_callbacks(). Hence we can remove the loop.
