So there's an alternative here that wouldn't have the danger of missing
cc->whole_zone multiple time due to races. When resetting either one
scanner to zone boundary, reset the other as well (and set
cc->whole_zone). I think the situations, where not doing that have any
(performance) advantage, are rare.
