4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit e820d55cb99dd93ac2dc949cf486bb187e5cd70d ]

When both regular IO and resync IO happen at the same time,
and if we also need to split regular. Then we can see tasks
hang due to barrier.

1. resync thread

So resync io is waiting for regular write io to complete to
decrease nr_pending (conf->barrier++ is called before waiting).
The regular write io splits another bio after call wait_barrier
which call nr_pending++, then the splitted bio would continue
with raid10_write_request -> wait_barrier, so the splitted bio
has to wait for barrier to be zero, then deadlock happens as
follows.

resync io regular io

raise_barrier
wait_barrier
generic_make_request
wait_barrier

To resolve the issue, we need to call allow_barrier to decrease
nr_pending before generic_make_request since regular IO is not
issued to underlying devices, and wait_barrier is called again
to ensure no internal IO happening.
