Which fell through the cracks because of objections to calling
wake_up_all(&ctx->cil->xc_commit_wait) from xlog_cil_committed().
FYI, I just independently wrote a patch to fix this, and part of the
fix is that it calls wake_up_all(&ctx->cil->xc_commit_wait) from
xlog_cil_committed(). The rest of the fix indicates that the above
patch wasn't sufficient. Patch below.
This time it isn't going to fall through the cracks because I don't
think the objections are valid...
Cheers,
Dave.

I did not intend to stall out the patch.
I came to like the idea of always notifying the waiters on an lsn after
the iclog is successfully written out not just when we start the IO.
