FWIW, has this been actually seen in the real world?

xfs_trans_unlocked_item() only does stuff if the log item is in the
AIL. If we've already destroyed the log, then we should have already
torn down the AIL and there should be no log items in the system
that are in the AIL....

What am I missing here?

Cheers,

Dave.
