[PATCH] md: Fix 'rdev->nr_pending' count when retrying barrier requests

When retrying a failed BIO_RW_BARRIER request, we need to keep the reference
in ->nr_pending over the whole retry.  Currently, we only hold the reference
if the failed request is the *last* one to finish - which is silly, because it
would normally be the first to finish.

So move the rdev_dec_pending call up into the didn't-fail branch.  As the rdev
isn't used in the later code, calling rdev_dec_pending earlier doesn't hurt.
