This fixes the case when md array assembly fails because of raid cache recovery
unable to allocate a stripe, despite attempts to replay stripes and increase
cache size. This happens because stripes released by r5c_recovery_replay_stripes
and raid5_set_cache_size don't become available for allocation immediately.
Released stripes first are placed on conf->released_stripes list and require
md thread to merge them on conf->inactive_list before they can be allocated.
Patch allows final allocation attempt during cache recovery to wait for
new stripes to become availabe for allocation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
