+ * buffer reference to a temporary wait list. We reuse this infrastructure to
+ * transfer the buffer back to the original queue.
+ *
+ * Note the buffer transitions from the queued state, to the submitted and wait
+ * listed state and back to the queued state during this call. The buffer
+ * locking and queue management logic between _delwri_pushbuf() and
+ * _delwri_queue() guarantee that the buffer cannot be queued to another list
