To handles the race condition between xfs_log_force_shutdown() clearing
all the tickets off the queue and a racing log reserve that had
already checked the shutdown flag and was spinning waiting for the
reserve lock to add the ticket to the queue. The race condition is
documented in xfs_log_force_shutdown()...

Cheers,

Dave.
