busy bitmaps and race conditions

While going through diskd, ufs and aufs I've noticed that the async
unlinks aren't taken into consideration when choosing a new (free)
bit. I can't see this being too much of a problem in normal use
but there's a possibility for a race condition if you are running out
of free bits.

Am I missing something here?
