    md/raid1: fix request counting bug in new 'barrier' code. · 41a336e0

    The new iobarrier implementation in raid1 (which keeps normal writes
    and resync activity separate) counts every request what is not before
    the current resync point in either next_window_requests or
    current_window_requests.
    It flags that the request is counted by setting ->start_next_window.
    
    allow_barrier follows this model exactly and decrements one of the
    *_window_requests if and only if ->start_next_window is set.
    
    However wait_barrier(), which increments *_window_requests uses a
    slightly different test for setting -.start_next_window (which is set
    from the return value of this function).
    So there is a possibility of the counts getting out of sync, and this
    leads to the resync hanging.
    
    So change wait_barrier() to return a non-zero value in exactly the
    same cases that it increments *_window_requests.
    
    But was introduced in 3.13-rc1.
