Subject: [PATCH] md: fix raid5 'repair' operations

commit bd2ab67030e9116f1e4aae1289220255412b37fd "md: close a livelock
window in handle_parity_checks5" introduced a bug in handling 'repair'
operations.  After a repair operation completes we clear the state bits
tracking this operation.  However, they are cleared too early and this
results in the code deciding to re-run the parity check operation.  Since
we have done the repair in memory the second check does not find a mismatch
and thus does not do a writeback.

Test results:
$ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
$ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt
51072
$ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
$ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt
0

(also fix incorrect indentation)
