    This micro-optimization allowed the raid code to skip a re-read of the
    parity block after checking parity.  It took advantage of the fact that
    xor-offload-engines have their own internal result buffer and can check
    parity without writing to memory.  Remove it for the following reasons:
    
    1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and
       non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum
    2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock
    3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated
       parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.
