If make_stripe_request() returns STRIPE_WAIT_RESHAPE,
raid5_make_request() will free the cloned bio. But raid5_make_request()
can call make_stripe_request() multiple times, writing to the various
stripes. If that bio got added to the toread or towrite lists of a
stripe disk in an earlier call to make_stripe_request(), then it's not
safe to just free the bio if a later part of it is found to cross the
reshape position. Doing so can lead to a UAF error, when bio_endio()
is called on the bio for the earlier stripes.

Instead, raid5_make_request() needs to wait until all parts of the bio
have called bio_endio(). To do this, bios that cross the reshape
position while the reshape can't make progress are flagged as needing to
wait for all parts to complete. When raid5_make_request() has a bio that
failed make_stripe_request() with STRIPE_WAIT_RESHAPE, it sets
bi->bi_private to a completion struct and waits for completion after
ending the bio.  When the bio_endio() is called for the last time on a
clone bio with bi->bi_private set, it wakes up the waiter. This
guarantees that raid5_make_request() doesn't return until the cloned bio
needing a retry for io across the reshape boundary is safely cleaned up.

There is a simple reproducer available at [1]. Compile the kernel with
KASAN for more useful reporting when the error is triggered (this is not
necessary to see the bug).

Changes from v1:
- Removed mddev->pending_retry_bios, mddev->retry_bios_wait, and
  md_io_clone->must_retry. Instead, use a completion struct
  pointed to by bi->bi_private, as suggested by Xiao Ni and Yu Kuai.
