The stripe locking mechanism must be atomic between the check and the, potential, autorepair. For this reason, the autorepair code needs to be just after the check and both parts (check and autorepair) must be excuted under stripe lock. Of course, the manual repair can operate as before. This patch reorganize the code and provides the single, atomic, stripe lock. It should be confirmed that this new locking is not too demanding. In case it is, some other solutions will be required (suggestions wellcome).
