The reason that the above race can not happen is because there is only one flag currently.
But as we know, ->fs_state can be accessed and updated by multi-task, so the current code
is error prone, if we add other flags, the above problem will happen to a certainty. (Adding
new flags is very likely) So why not write right and robust code at the beginning?

I think the changelog is right since ->fs_state can be accessed and updated by multi-task
actually.
