md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock

When the raid acceleration work was proposed, Neil laid out the following
attack plan:

1/ move the xor and copy operations outside spin_lock(&sh->lock)
2/ find/implement an asynchronous offload api

The raid5_run_ops routine uses the asynchronous offload api (async_tx) and
the stripe_operations member of a stripe_head to carry out xor+copy
operations asynchronously, outside the lock.

To perform operations outside the lock a new set of state flags is needed
to track new requests, in-flight requests, and completed requests.  In this
new model handle_stripe is tasked with scanning the stripe_head for work,
updating the stripe_operations structure, and finally dropping the lock and
calling raid5_run_ops for processing.  The following flags outline the
requests that handle_stripe can make of raid5_run_ops:

STRIPE_OP_BIOFILL
 - copy data into request buffers to satisfy a read request
STRIPE_OP_COMPUTE_BLK
 - generate a missing block in the cache from the other blocks
STRIPE_OP_PREXOR
 - subtract existing data as part of the read-modify-write process
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN
 - copy data out of request buffers to satisfy a write request
STRIPE_OP_POSTXOR
 - recalculate parity for new data that has entered the cache
STRIPE_OP_CHECK
 - verify that the parity is correct
STRIPE_OP_IO
 - submit i/o to the member disks (note this was already performed outside
   the stripe lock, but it made sense to add it as an operation type

The flow is:
1/ handle_stripe sets STRIPE_OP_* in sh->ops.pending
2/ raid5_run_ops reads sh->ops.pending, sets sh->ops.ack, and submits the
   operation to the async_tx api
3/ async_tx triggers the completion callback routine to set
   sh->ops.complete and release the stripe
4/ handle_stripe runs again to finish the operation and optionally submit
   new operations that were previously blocked

Note this patch just defines raid5_run_ops, subsequent commits (one per
major operation type) modify handle_stripe to take advantage of this
routine.

Changelog:
* removed ops_complete_biodrain in favor of ops_complete_postxor and
  ops_complete_write.
* removed the raid5_run_ops workqueue
* call bi_end_io for reads in ops_complete_biofill, saves a call to
  handle_stripe
* explicitly handle the 2-disk raid5 case (xor becomes memcpy), Neil Brown
* fix race between async engines and bi_end_io call for reads, Neil Brown
* remove unnecessary spin_lock from ops_complete_biofill
* remove test_and_set/test_and_clear BUG_ONs, Neil Brown
* remove explicit interrupt handling for channel switching, this feature
  was absorbed (i.e. it is now implicit) by the async_tx api
* use return_io in ops_complete_biofill

+ * Stripe operations are performed outside the stripe lock,
+ * the stripe operations are:
+ * -copying data between the stripe cache and user application buffers
+ * -computing blocks to save a disk access, or to recover a missing block
+ * -updating the parity on a write operation (reconstruct write and
+ *  read-modify-write)
+ * -checking parity correctness
+ * -running i/o to disk
+ * These operations are carried out by raid5_run_ops which uses the async_tx
+ * api to (optionally) offload operations to dedicated hardware engines.
+ * When requesting an operation handle_stripe sets the pending bit for the
+ * operation and increments the count.  raid5_run_ops is then run whenever
+ * the count is non-zero.
+ * There are some critical dependencies between the operations that prevent some
+ * from being requested while another is in flight.
+ * 1/ Parity check operations destroy the in cache version of the parity block,
+ *    so we prevent parity dependent operations like writes and compute_blocks
+ *    from starting while a check is in progress.  Some dma engines can perform
+ *    the check without damaging the parity block, in these cases the parity
+ *    block is re-marked up to date (assuming the check was successful) and is
+ *    not re-read from disk.
+ * 2/ When a write operation is requested we immediately lock the affected
+ *    blocks, and mark them as not up to date.  This causes new read requests
+ *    to be held off, as well as parity checks and compute block operations.
+ * 3/ Once a compute block operation has been requested handle_stripe treats
+ *    that block as if it is up to date.  raid5_run_ops guaruntees that any
+ *    operation that is dependent on the compute block result is initiated after
+ *    the compute block completes.
