All callers have acquired ctx already. Doing that again results in

Is it worth adding a comment here that callers must have already acquired the job context?

However, I was unable to quickly audit whether all callers really did have the lock (it balloons into whether all callers of job_finalize() have the lock), so I'm reluctant to give R-b.

That said, the change makes sense here: since the first direct call to job_txn_apply() did not need to lock, why should the second indirect call through job_do_finalize() need it?

Or, is the fix to have job_do_finalize() gain a bool parameter, where job_completed_txn_success() would pass false to that parameter, while job_finalize() would pass true (again, going back to auditing whether all callers of job_finalize() have already acquired the context).
