If we are processing callbacks on an iclog, nothing can be
concurrently adding callbacks to the loop. We only add callbacks to
the iclog when they are in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state, and we
explicitly do not add callbacks if the iclog is already in IOERROR
state.

The only way to have a dequeue racing with an enqueue is to be
processing a shutdown without a direct reference to an iclog in
ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state. As the enqueue avoids this race
condition, we only ever need a single dequeue operation in
xlog_state_do_iclog_callbacks(). Hence we can remove the loop.

Makes sense...
