[PATCH] md/raid1: release barrier when REQ_NOWAIT write would block

[Abd-Alrhman Masalkhi]

raid1_write_request() calls wait_barrier(), which raises
conf->nr_pending, before calling wait_blocked_rdev(). When
wait_blocked_rdev() fails for a REQ_NOWAIT write, the bio is completed
and the function returns without calling allow_barrier(), leaking the
nr_pending reference taken by wait_barrier().

freeze_array() waits for nr_pending to drop to zero, so a leaked
reference prevents the array from ever being frozen again. Any later
operation that freezes the array then hangs, including resync, reshape,
device removal and array teardown.

Release the barrier on the REQ_NOWAIT failure path.
