There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c. This
patches merges both into one module called raid456. This saves a lot
of code, and paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations.

There is still duplication, e.g. between handle_stripe5 and
handle_stripe6. This will probably be cleaned up later.
