I don't think this commit is responsible, it's a fix for a case where
the kernel was asked to do a repair but a recovery is pending.
This commit addressed a bug in external-metadata support when adding a
spare disk via sysfs. It would be fairly difficult to trigger this in
the non-external-metadata case. It would require a check/repair
request to come in immediately after the disk was (re-)added, but before
the kernel started the resync.
