Subject: [PATCH v2] md/raid5: preserve STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST in break_stripe_batch_list

In release_stripe_plug(), if a stripe_head has its STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST
set, it indicates that this stripe_head is already in the raid5_plug_cb
list and release_stripe() would be called instead to drop a reference
count. Otherwise, the STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST bit would be set for this
stripe_head and it will get queued into the raid5_plug_cb list.

Since break_stripe_batch_list() did not preserve STRIPE_ON_UNPLUG_LIST,
A stripe could be re-added to plug list while it is still on that list
in the following situation. If stripe_head A is added to another
stripe_head B's batch list, in this case A will have its
batch_head != NULL and be added into the plug list. After that,
stripe_head B gets handled and called break_stripe_batch_list() to
reset all the batched stripe_head(including A which is still on
the plug list)'s state and reset their batch_head to NULL.
Before the plug list gets processed, if there is another write request
comes in and get stripe_head A, A will have its batch_head == NULL
(cleared by calling break_stripe_batch_list() on B) and be added to
plug list once again.
