Subject: [255/264] md/raid5: STRIPE_ACTIVE has lock semantics, add barriers

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit 257a4b42af7586fab4eaec7f04e6896b86551843 upstream.

All updates that occur under STRIPE_ACTIVE should be globally visible
when STRIPE_ACTIVE clears.  test_and_set_bit() implies a barrier, but
clear_bit() does not.

This is suitable for 3.1-stable.
