Just misreported and make the caller wait for a long time until TIMEOUT. It's
rare to happen, because any other CMD_SYNC during the waiting period will break
it.

OK. I have considered that before, just worry it will increase the compition of spinlock.

In addition, I will append a optimization patch: the adjacent CMD_SYNCs, we only need one.
