Before umount, kworker will always hold one core, that looks not reasonable,
to avoid that, could we just allow node write, since it's out-place-update,
and cp is not allowed, we don't need to worry about its effect on data on
previous checkpoint, and it can decrease memory footprint cost by node pages.

Thanks,
