@NicoK, I have submitted two `[hotfix]` commits for the above issues.
One is for `Nullable` annotation and tests of backlog statistics. And the
other is for updating backlog in thread-safe.
For updating backlog, I think it should be done in `PipelinedSubpartition`
and `SpillableSubpartition` separately in order to under synchronized region,
although it seems somewhat redundant. But I notice that the `isReleased()`
method in `ResultSubpartition` is also implemented in this way.

> 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.
