md-cluster/bitmap: unplug bitmap to sync dirty pages to disk
This patch is doing two distinct but related things. 1. It adds bitmap_unplug() for the main bitmap (mddev->bitmap). As bit have been set, BITMAP_PAGE_DIRTY is set so bitmap_deamon_work() will not write those pages out in its regular scans, only bitmap_unplug() will. If there are no writes to the array, bitmap_unplug() won't be called, so we need to call it explicitly here. 2. bitmap_write_all() is a bit of a confusing interface as it doesn't actually write anything. The current code for writing "bitmap" works but this change makes it a bit clearer.
