[md PATCH 02/14] md/raid5: simplfy delaying of writes while metadata is updated.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>]

If a device fails during a write, we must ensure the failure is
recorded in the metadata before the completion of the write is
acknowleged.

Commit c3cce6cda162 ("md/raid5: ensure device failure recorded before
write request returns.")  added code for this, but it was
unnecessarily complicated.  We already had similar functionality for
handling updates to the bad-block-list, thanks to Commit de393cdea66c
("md: make it easier to wait for bad blocks to be acknowledged.")

So revert most of the former commit, and instead avoid collecting
completed writes if MD_CHANGE_PENDING is set.  raid5d() will then flush
the metadata and retry the stripe_head.

We check MD_CHANGE_PENDING *after* analyse_stripe() as it could be set
asynchronously.  After analyse_stripe(), we have collected stable data
about the state of devices, which will be used to make decisions.
