The counter conf->empty_inactive_list_nr is only used for determine if the
raid5 is congested which is deal with in function raid5_congested().
It was increased in get_free_stripe() when conf->inactive_list got to be
empty and decreased in release_inactive_stripe_list() when splice
temp_inactive_list to conf->inactive_list. However, this may have a
problem when raid5_get_active_stripe or stripe_add_to_batch_list was called,
because these two functions may call list_del_init(&sh->lru) to delete sh from
"conf->inactive_list + hash" which may cause "conf->inactive_list + hash" to
be empty when atomic_inc_not_zero(&sh->count) got false. So a check should be
done at these two point and increase empty_inactive_list_nr accordingly.
Otherwise the counter may get to be negative number which would influence
async readahead from VFS.
