Wow, I believe it's taken this long for us to notice that we can't
break out of xlog_cil_force_lsn() if we fail on xlog_write()
from a CIL push.

I'd say that xlog_cil_force_lsn() needs log shutdown checks before
it goes to sleep in xlog_wait()....

That won't hurt, but it won't fix the problem.

Cheers,
