    md/raid5: release/flush io in raid5_do_work() · 2e514142

    commit 9c72a18e upstream.
    
    In raid5, there are scenarios where some ios are deferred to a later
    time, and some IO need a flush to complete. To make sure we make
    progress with these IOs, we need to call the following functions:
    
        flush_deferred_bios(conf);
        r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log);
    
    Both of these functions are called in raid5d(), but missing in
    raid5_do_work(). As a result, these functions are not called
    when multi-threading (group_thread_cnt > 0) is enabled. This patch
    adds calls to these function to raid5_do_work().
    
    Note for stable branches:
    
      r5l_flush_stripe_to_raid(conf->log) is need for 4.4+
      flush_deferred_bios(conf) is only needed for 4.11+
