[PATCH 2/3] md/raid5: split wait_for_stripe and introduce wait_for_quiescent

[Yuanhan Liu]

I noticed heavy spin lock contention at get_active_stripe(), introduced
at being wake up stage, where a bunch of processes try to re-hold the
spin lock again.

After giving some thoughts on this issue, I found the lock could be
relieved(and even avoided) if we turn the wait_for_stripe to per
waitqueue for each lock hash and make the wake up exclusive: wake up
one process each time, which avoids the lock contention naturally.

Before go hacking with wait_for_stripe, I found it actually has 2
usages: for the array to enter or leave the quiescent state, and also
to wait for an available stripe in each of the hash lists.

So this patch splits the first usage off into a separate wait_queue,
wait_for_quiescent, and the next patch will turn the second usage into
one waitqueue for each hash value, and make it exclusive, to relieve
the lock contention.

v2: wake_up(wait_for_quiescent) when (active_stripes == 0)
    Commit log refactor suggestion from Neil.
