A race condition exists where if raid5_quiesce() is called in the
middle of a request that has set batch_last, it will deadlock.
batch_last will hold a reference to a stripe when raid5_quiesce() is
called. This will cause the next raid5_get_active_stripe() call to
sleep waiting for the quiesce to finish, but the raid5_quiesce() thread
will wait for active_stripes to go to zero which will never happen
because request thread is waiting for the quiesce to stop.
Fix this by creating a special __raid5_get_active_stripe() function
which takes the request context and clears the last_batch before
sleeping.
While we're at it, change the arguments of raid5_get_active_stripe()
to bools.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
