raid5: add a per-stripe lock

Add a per-stripe lock to protect stripe specific data. The purpose is to reduce
lock contention of conf->device_lock.

stripe ->toread, ->towrite are protected by per-stripe lock.  Accessing bio
list of the stripe is always serialized by this lock, so adding bio to the
lists (add_stripe_bio()) and removing bio from the lists (like
ops_run_biofill()) not race.

If bio in ->read, ->written ... list are not shared by multiple stripes, we
don't need any lock to protect ->read, ->written, because STRIPE_ACTIVE will
protect them. If the bio are shared,  there are two protections:
1. bi_phys_segments acts as a reference count
2. traverse the list uses r5_next_bio, which makes traverse never access bio
not belonging to the stripe

Let's have an example:
|  stripe1 |  stripe2    |  stripe3  |
...bio1......|bio2|bio3|....bio4.....

stripe2 has 4 bios, when it's finished, it will decrement bi_phys_segments for
all bios, but only end_bio for bio2 and bio3. bio1->bi_next still points to
bio2, but this doesn't matter. When stripe1 is finished, it will not touch bio2
because of r5_next_bio check. Next time stripe1 will end_bio for bio1 and
stripe3 will end_bio bio4.

before add_stripe_bio() addes a bio to a stripe, we already increament the bio
bi_phys_segments, so don't worry other stripes release the bio.
