[PATCH] md: improve raid10 "IO Barrier" concept

raid10 needs to put up a barrier to new requests while it does resync or other
background recovery.  The code for this is currently open-coded, slighty
obscure by its use of two waitqueues, and not documented.

This patch gathers all the related code into 4 functions, and includes a
comment which (hopefully) explains what is happening.

- * Throttle resync depth, so that we can both get proper overlapping of
- * requests, but are still able to handle normal requests quickly.
+/* Barriers....
+ * Sometimes we need to suspend IO while we do something else,
+ * either some resync/recovery, or reconfigure the array.
+ * To do this we raise a 'barrier'.
+ * The 'barrier' is a counter that can be raised multiple times
+ * to count how many activities are happening which preclude
+ * normal IO.
+ * We can only raise the barrier if there is no pending IO.
+ * i.e. if nr_pending == 0.
+ * We choose only to raise the barrier if no-one is waiting for the
+ * barrier to go down.  This means that as soon as an IO request
+ * is ready, no other operations which require a barrier will start
+ * until the IO request has had a chance.
+ *
+ * So: regular IO calls 'wait_barrier'.  When that returns there
+ *    is no backgroup IO happening,  It must arrange to call
+ *    allow_barrier when it has finished its IO.
+ * backgroup IO calls must call raise_barrier.  Once that returns
+ *    there is no normal IO happeing.  It must arrange to call
+ *    lower_barrier when the particular background IO completes.
