I honestly didn't fully followed the initial goal of checking the detection
before scheduling the work.... So I assumed it was some underrun storm
and a mechanism to avoid multiple calls to fbc disable...

But yeap... I think we could live without it if no storm is possible
or if internal sagv and fbc are already handling those properly.
