Summary: For flush triggered by RocksDB due to memory usage approaching certain threshold (WriteBufferManager or Memtable full), we should cut the memtable only when the current active memtable is not empty, i.e. contains data. This is what we do for non-atomic flush. If we always cut memtable even when the active memtable is empty, we will generate extra, empty immutable memtable. This is not ideal since it may cause write stall. It also causes some DBAtomicFlushTest to fail because cfd->imm()->NumNotFlushed() is different from expectation.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
