drbd: Removed a race that could cause unexpected execution of w_make_resync_request()

The actual race happened int the drbd_start_resync() function. Where
drbd_resync_finished() -> __drbd_set_state() set STOP_SYNC_TIMER and
armed the timer.

If the timer fired before execution reaches the mod_timer statement
at the end of drbd_start_resync() the latter would cause an
unexpected call to w_make_resync_request().

Removed the STOP_SYNC_TIMER bit, and base it on the connection state.

The STOP_SYNC_TIMER bit probably originates probably the time before
the state engine.
