Subject: [PATCH] [GFS2] Fix assert in log code

Although the values were all being calculated correctly, there was a
race in the assert due to the way it was using atomic variables. This
changes the value we assert on so that we get the same effect by testing
a different variable. This prevents the assert triggering when it shouldn't.
