Hmmm.  By that logic, maybe we should get rid of the (level ==
cur->bc_nlevels - 1) check entirely so that any cursor without a buffer
attached at that level will always provide *some* kind of breadcrumb to
the tracepoints?

I almost did that instead, except for the consideration that if you're
tracing the online fsck code, you should /probably/ have at least one of
xchk_stop/xrep_attempt/xchk_done included in the filter list so you can
be certain of what the kernel is checking.
