[PATCH] md: fix some small races in bitmap plugging in raid5

The comment gives more details, but I didn't quite have the sequencing write,
so there was room for races to leave bits unset in the on-disk bitmap for
short periods of time.

/*
* BITMAP UNPLUGGING:
*
* The sequencing for updating the bitmap reliably is a little
* subtle (and I got it wrong the first time) so it deserves some
* explanation.
*
* We group bitmap updates into batches. Each batch has a number.
* We may write out several batches at once, but that isn't very important.
* conf->bm_write is the number of the last batch successfully written.
* conf->bm_flush is the number of the last batch that was closed to
* new additions.
* When we discover that we will need to write to any block in a stripe
* (in add_stripe_bio) we update the in-memory bitmap and record in sh->bm_seq
* the number of the batch it will be in. This is bm_flush+1.
* When we are ready to do a write, if that batch hasn't been written yet,
* we plug the array and queue the stripe for later.
* When an unplug happens, we increment bm_flush, thus closing the current
* batch.
* When we notice that bm_flush > bm_write, we write out all pending updates
* to the bitmap, and advance bm_write to where bm_flush was.
* This may occasionally write a bit out twice, but is sure never to
* miss any bits.
