We know there is always a cost. We do invalidate the csb
on each pass on process_csb.

Add csb_write in to invalidate_csb entries along
with mbs. Rename it to invalidate_csb and use it
always?

By doing so, we could prolly throw out the rmb() at
the start of the process_csb as we would have invalidated
the write pointer along with the entries we read,
on previous pass.
