Regression tests blew up in snapshot code.  It's really hard to see how
this is related to anything in the patch itself, especially because only
one of the un-inlined functions was in snapshot code.  Here's a partial
backtrace:

Based on how variables are set in frame 7, it looks like we must have
taken the "goto remove_my_data" path at line 1776, but *snap hasn't
really been initialized to a sufficient degree - hence the crash.

(gdb) p *snap
$1 = {lock = -1379869184, volumes = {next = 0x1f1ac6000, prev = 0xc100},
  snap_list = {next = 0x15800, prev = 0x1f7c1d000},
  snapname = "\000\336\300\255\336\000\000\000\000`\254\361\001\000\000\000\000\301\000\000\000\000\000\000\000X\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\320\301\367\001\000\000\000\000\336\300\255\336\000\000\000\000`\254\361\001\000\000\000\000\301\000\000\000\000\000\000\000X\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\320\301\367\001\000\000\000\000\336\300\255\336\000\000\000\000`\254\361\001\000\000\000\000\301\000\000\000\000\000\000\000X\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\320\301\367\001\000\000\000\000\336\300\255\336\000\000\000\000`\254\361\001\000\000\000\000\301\000\000\000\000\000\000\000X\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\320\301\367\001\000\000\000\000\336\300\255\336\000\000\000\000`\254\361\001\000\000\000\000\301\000\000\000\000\000\000\000X\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\320\301\367\001\000\000\000\000"...,
  snap_id = "\000\000\301\000\000\000\000\000\000\000X\001\000\000\000",
  description = 0x1f7c1d000 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x1f7c1d000>,
  time_stamp = -256, snap_restored = (_gf_true | unknown: 4294967294),
  snap_status = 4294967295, shandle = 0xffffffffffffffff}

Were these code paths ever even tested?  I'm going to move on to
other things.  Perhaps somebody who knows the snapshot code could
figure out how it strangled itself this time.
