[PULL REQUEST] md update for current merge window

[Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>]

Hi Linus,
 as detailed below, a few updates for md for 2.6.37.
 Nothing really major.  The most significant is a few improvements to
 allocation of bios so we don't exhaust a global pool and so run the
 risk of dead-lock when multiple md devices are stacked, or used with
 something else (like swap) that allocates bios from the global pool.

 Apart from that, minor bug fixes and clean-up.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
