Be careful that we never submit the same request again if we have
already applied the LiteRestore w/a upon it -- as the HW may complete
the request as we submit the ELSP and so become confused by the request
to execute an empty ring.

To submit the same request in ELSP[0] three times (so triggering the
LiteRestore w/a and resubmitting with it already applied) would require
preemption, and on preemption we should be unwinding the request tail as
we know the HW hasn't advanced beyond the normal time. So in practice,
this should never occur...

Bah, this means we update the tail before the current submission, so
while the warn is meaningful, the ELSP[] is b0rked.
