When creating an instructor task total_num_items may change between the
time it and the number of subtasks is calculated and the time the
subtasks are actually queued (all of this cannot happen in one transaction).
In such a case the extra items are distributed among the subtasks of the
last query.

Instead, we use XModule field default values when creating an empty
XModule. Driven by this use case, we also allow for XModules to be
created in memory without being persisted to the database at all. This
necessitates a change to the Modulestore api, replacing clone_item with
create_draft and save_xmodule.
