[GIT PULL REQUEST] late md/raid1 bug fixes for 3.17

From: NeilBrown
Date: Tue Sep 23 2014 - 22:18:48 EST



Hi Linus,
it is amazing how much easier it is to find bugs when you know one is there.
Two bug reports resulted in finding 7 bugs!!

All are tagged for -stable. Those that can't cause (rare) data corruption,
cause lockups.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
