Subject: md/raid1: clean up request counts properly in close_sync()
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
commit 669cc7ba77864e7b1ac39c9f2b2afb8730f341f4 upstream.
If there are outstanding writes when close_sync is called,
the change to ->start_next_window might cause them to
decrement the wrong counter when they complete. Fix this
by merging the two counters into the one that will be decremented.
Having an incorrect value in a counter can cause raise_barrier()
to hangs, so this is suitable for -stable.
