This is a bit of a mine field. The shutdown_lock is held when reclaiming
requests that didn't see a response. If you're holding it here and your
telemetry log page times out, we're going to deadlock. And since the
controller is probably in a buggered state when you try to retrieve one,
I would guess an unrecoverable timeout is the most likely outcome.
