If you aren't certain, then neither am I.

As resync and normal writes can be intermingled you would need some guarantee
that a write wouldn't be missed, and that almost certainly means a test under
a lock against some value which is updated under a lock.

Text that is inside parentheses (or other brackets) should never be to the
left of the opening parenthesis unless that parenthesis is at the end of a
line.
In the original code, the "|| test_bit(Unmerged....." was to the right of the
'('.  In your version it starts to the left, and the lines you added also
start to the left.

Still doesn't sound convincing.
