md: flush writes before starting a recovery.

md: flush writes before starting a recovery.

When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we
make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when
the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a
temporarily-missing device).

If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare,
commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is
happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet),
then that write will not get to the new device.

Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will
have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption.

We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we
do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not.  That
depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write
request.

This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it
suitable for any -stable kernel.  It applied correctly to 3.0 at
least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.
