Or we make the backlog as `AtomicInteger` to keep the current process,
otherwise we may need to call `decreaseStatistics` in different parts in the
region of `synchronized(buffers)` . What do you think?

> This is a part of work for credit-based network flow control.
> Receivers should know how many buffers are available on the sender side (the
> backlog). The receivers use this information to decide how to distribute
> floating buffers.
> The {{ResultSubpartition}} maintains the backlog which only indicates the
> number of buffers in this subpartition, not including the number of events.
> The backlog is increased for adding buffer to this subpartition, and
> decreased for polling buffer from it.
> The backlog is attached in {{BufferResponse}} by sender as an absolute value
> after the buffer being transferred.
