md: fix prexor vs sync_request race

Browse Source 
During the initial array synchronization process there is a window between
when a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it
completes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe.  When
this happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked
"insync", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe.  Prior to
2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under
sh->lock.  The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still
erroneously mark the stripe "insync", but sync_request would be held off
and re-mark the stripe as "!in_sync".

Change the write completion logic to not mark the stripe "in_sync" if a
prexor was performed.  The effect of the change is to sometimes not set
STRIPE_INSYNC.  The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting
for STRIPE_INSYNC to be set.  If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING
would be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all
available blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never
be used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set.

echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will correct arrays that may
have lost this race.
