We shouldn't acknowledge that a stripe has been expanded (When reshaping a raid5 by adding a device) until the moved data has actually been written out. However we are currently acknowledging (by calling md_done_sync) when the POST_XOR is complete and before the write. So track in s.locked whether there are pending writes, and don't call md_done_sync yet if there are. Note: we all set R5_LOCKED on devices which are are about to read from. This probably isn't technically necessary, but is usually done when writing a block, and justifies the use of s.locked here. This bug can lead to a crash if an array is stopped while an reshape is in progress.
