Drop md-raid5-fix-clearing-of-biofill-operations.patch and replace it
with the attached
md-raid5-not-raid6-fix-clearing-of-biofill-operations.patch (the
original sent to Neil).

The critical difference is that the replacement patch touches
handle_stripe5, not handle_stripe6.  Diffing the patches shows the
changes for hunk #3:

-@@ -2903,6 +2907,13 @@ static void handle_stripe6(struct stripe
+@@ -2630,6 +2634,13 @@ static void handle_stripe5(struct stripe_head *sh)

raid5-fix-unending-write-sequence.patch is in -mm and I believe is
waiting on an Acked-by from Neil?
