Okay, I see the problem.

But with [PATCH 4/5], I think maybe we can merge these two patches and
simplify things as following?

Just flush them once,

	spin_lock(&root->fs_info->delalloc_lock);
	list_splice_init(&root->fs_info->delalloc_inodes, &splice);
	spin_unlock(&root->fs_info->delalloc_lock);

	while (!list_empty(&splice)) {
		...
	}
