How about this commit log replacement of the first paragraph:

"Extend vb2_core_reqbufs() with queue memory consistency flag that is
applied to the newly allocated buffers."

The bits about 'only if the queue has no allocated buffers, not busy, and does
not have buffers waiting to be de-queued.' is really irrelevant and confusing
(at least to me!).
