md/raid1: make sure resync waits for conflicting writes to complete.

The resync/recovery process for raid1 was recently changed
so that writes could happen in parallel with resync providing
they were in different regions of the device.

There is a problem though:  While a write request will always
wait for conflicting resync to complete, a resync request
will *not* always wait for conflicting writes to complete.

Two changes are needed to fix this:

1/ raise_barrier (which waits until it is safe to do resync)
   must wait until current_window_requests is zero
2/ wait_battier (which waits at the start of a new write request)
   must update current_window_requests if the request could
   possible conflict with a concurrent resync.

As concurrent writes and resync can lead to data loss,
this patch is suitable for -stable.
