I think the check is there only for the case where write_mmp_block() +
sleep took longer than mmp_check_interval. I agree that should rarely
happen but on a really busy system it is possible and in that case we would
miss updating mmp block for too long and so another node could have started
using the filesystem. I actually don't see a reason why kmmpd should be
checking the block each mmp_check_interval as you do - mmp_check_interval
is just for ext4_multi_mount_protect() to know how long it should wait
before considering mmp block stale... Am I missing something?
