  md: mark some attributes as pre-alloc (2015-02-25 11:38:46 +1100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
3 md fixes for 4.0

- fix a read-balance problem that was reported 2 years ago, but
  that I never noticed the report :-(
- fix for rare RAID6 problem causing incorrect bitmap updates when
  two devices fail.
- add __ATTR_PREALLOC annotation now that it is possible.
