A buffer's write completion can race with the CIL walking the same
checkpoint's item list during a forced shutdown's simulated commit
callbacks. Whichever side reaches the item last should be the one to
free it; right now completion frees it unconditionally, so the CIL
walk can end up touching memory that's already gone.
