I have looked at v3, and noticed that the stat() call is actually a
bit incorrect in its error handling because it would miss any errors
that happen when checking for the existence of the file. The only
error that we should safely expect is ENOENT, for a missing entry.
All the other had better fail like the other code paths restoring 2PC
entries from the shared state. At the end, I have made the choice of
relying only on access() to check the existence of the file as this is
an internal place, simplified a bit the comment. Finally, I have made
the choice to remove the assert-only check. After sleeping on it, it
would have value in very limited cases while a bunch of recovery cases
would take a hit, including developers with large 2PC setups, so there
are a lot of downsides with limited upsides.
