md/raid5: Pivot raid5_make_request()

raid5_make_request() loops through every page in the request,
finds the appropriate stripe and adds the bio for that page in the
disk.

This causes a great deal of contention on the hash_lock and extra
work seeing each stripe must be found once for every data disk.

The number of times a stripe must be found can be reduced by pivoting
raid5_make_request() so that it loops through every stripe and then
loops through every disk in that stripe to see if the bio must be
added. This reduces the number of times the hash lock must be taken
by a factor equal to the number of data disks.

To accomplish this, the logical sectors that have already been added
must be tracked. Tracking them is done with a bitmap: the bits
for all pages are set at the start of the request and each bit
is cleared once the bio is added to a stripe.

Finding the next sector to be done is then just a call to
find_first_bit() so that sectors that have been done can simply be
skipped.

One minor downside is that the maximum sectors for a request must be
limited so that the bitmap can be appropriately sized on the stack.
This limit is arbitrarily chosen to be 256 stripe pages which works out
to 1MB if PAGE_SIZE == DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE. This doesn't actually
restrict the maximum request further seeing the default block queue
settings are used which restricts the number of segments to 128 (which
results in request sizes that are approximately 512KB).
