I have read it but I think we should try to ensure practically what is
happening because it is possible that first time worker checked in FSM
without taking relation extension lock, it didn't find any free page,
and then when it tried to acquire the conditional lock, it got the
same and just extended the relation by one block. So, in such a case
it won't be able to use the newly added pages by another worker. I am
not sure any such thing is happening here but I think it is better to
verify it in some way. Also, I am not sure if just getting the info
about the relation extension lock is sufficient?
