Yes, desc->tail can be removed from this check. Same for head below. Can
you fix this when merging?

> check on ctb->head?

ctb->head variable isn't used in this path nor is ctb->tail in the
other. In the other path desc->tail is checked as it is read while
desc->head isn't needed to be read here. The other path can also likely
be reworked to pull the tail check outside of the if / else define
block.

Yep. See above we can likely just delete this.

Now we can move this outside if/else define block as it is same check as
above. Again can you do this when you merge this?
