[PATCH] md: Fix bug in raid5

When analysing a stripe in handle_stripe we set bits
 R5_Wantread or R5_Wantwrite
to indicate if a read or write is needed.  We don't actually schedule the
IO immediately as this is done under a spinlock (sh->lock) and
generic_make_request can block.  Instead we check these bits after
the lock has been lifted and then schedule the IO.

But once the lock has been lifted we aren't safe against multiple
access, and it is possible that the IO will be scheduled never, or twice.

So, we use test_and_clear to check and potentially schedule the IO.

This wasn't a problem in 2.4 because the equivalent information was
stored on the stack instead of in the stripe.

We also make sure bi_io_vec[0] has correct values as a previous
call to generic_make_request may have changed them.
