md:Add blk_plug in sync_thread.
Add blk_plug in sync_thread will increase the performance of sync. Because sync_thread did not blk_plug,so when raid sync, the bio merge not well. Testing environment: SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller. OS:Linux xxx 3.5.0-rc2+ #340 SMP Tue Jun 12 09:00:25 CST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. RAID5: four ST31000524NS disk. Without blk_plug:recovery speed about 63M/Sec; Add blk_plug:recovery speed about 120M/Sec.
