[2.6.22 PATCH 24/26] dm raid1: fix to commit pending clear region requests

[Alasdair G Kergon]

From: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region
requests never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended.
This means there will always be some resync work required when a mirror
is activated, even though it may very well be in-sync.

Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us.  This is because the log
tracks whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.
