md/raid5: close recently introduced race in stripe_head management.
As release_stripe and __release_stripe decrement ->count and then manipulate ->lru both under ->device_lock, it is important that get_active_stripe() increments ->count and clears ->lru also under ->device_lock. However we currently list_del_init ->lru under the lock, but increment the ->count outside the lock. This can lead to races and list corruption. So move the atomic_inc(&sh->count) up inside the ->device_lock protected region. Note that we still increment ->count without device lock in the case where get_free_stripe() was called, and in fact don't take ->device_lock at all in that path. This is safe because if the stripe_head can be found by get_free_stripe, then the hash lock assures us the no-one else could possibly be calling release_stripe() at the same time.
