------------------------------------------
I'm seeing unit test failures in CliTest and DefsTest with v2 applied (never
ran them on v1).

> We try to prevent creating orphans by locking Table.flusherLock in
> maybeSwitchMemtable and the Migration process, but since the actual writing
> is done asynchronously in Memtable.writeSortedContents there is a race
> window, where we acquire lock in maybeSwitch, we're not dropped so we queue
> the flush and release the lock, Migration does the drop, then Memtable writes
> itself out.
