Why? I think checking the sleeper in original code is for a fast path.

For wbt, acquire_inflight_cb is wbt_inflight_cb where atomic_inc_below
is used to update rqw->inflight. I don't see why a mutex is needed for
this atomic operation.

This will break the throttle? There is a inflight io limitation. With
this change, there can be only one io inflight whatever the limit is.
