I had a partition with a corrupt root node, making it unmountable. This
lead to a panic in BlockAllocator::_Initialize, as the thread was scheduld
after the BlockAllocator object had already been cleared (panic shows the
pointer to it to be 0xcccccccc).
There is a lock between the thread and the destructor, but I'm not sure
about the semantics of recursive_lock which is used with ownership
transfer here. It looks like if the thread is not started yet, the locking
isn't effective?
