Hi,

This series adds llbitmap support for online reshape in RAID10 and RAID5.

llbitmap has a different set of constraints from the existing bitmap code:
there is one live bitmap instance, each bit state has richer semantics, and
reshape can change the mapping from logical array ranges to bitmap ranges.
The series therefore adds exact bitmap range mapping hooks, tracks old and
new llbitmap geometry during reshape, remaps checkpointed bits as reshape
progresses, and wires the reshape lifecycle into RAID10 and RAID5.

The main rules are:

1. split bios at the reshape position before bitmap accounting, so one bio
is never accounted with mixed old/new geometry;
2. do not skip reshape ranges from stale llbitmap state, because reshape
progress is checkpointed by array metadata;
3. remap llbitmap bits when reshape progress is checkpointed;
4. reject llbitmap reshape if mddev->chunk_sectors shrinks, because the
effective data range represented by existing bitmap bits can shrink.

The first group of patches prepares generic bitmap and llbitmap
infrastructure. The second group wires RAID10. The last group wires
RAID5, including exact old/new stripe mapping.

Validation:
* RAID5 llbitmap test:
- created 3-disk RAID5 with --bitmap=lockless
- wrote 96 MiB of random data
- reshaped to 4 disks
- llbitmap bits changed from clean=1024 dirty=1024 to
unwritten=448 clean=1600 dirty=0
- all sync-related llbitmap counters were zero after reshape
- data hash was unchanged after reshape
- replaced one disk, waited for recovery, hash was unchanged
- failed another old disk and verified degraded reads still matched
* RAID10 llbitmap test:
- created 4-disk RAID10 n2 with --bitmap=lockless
- wrote 128 MiB of random data
- reshaped to 6 disks
- llbitmap bits changed from clean=2048 dirty=2048 to
unwritten=2048 clean=4096 dirty=0
- all sync-related llbitmap counters were zero after reshape
- data hash was unchanged after reshape
- replaced one disk, waited for recovery, hash was unchanged
- failed the rebuilt disk's mirror mate and verified degraded reads still
matched
