NeilBrown ccfcc3c10b [PATCH] md: Core of raid5 resize process
This patch provides the core of the resize/expand process.

sync_request notices if a 'reshape' is happening and acts accordingly.

It allocated new stripe_heads for the next chunk-wide-stripe in the target
geometry, marking them STRIPE_EXPANDING.

Then it finds which stripe heads in the old geometry can provide data needed
by these and marks them STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE.  This causes stripe_handle to
read all blocks on those stripes.

Once all blocks on a STRIPE_EXPAND_SOURCE stripe_head are read, any that are
needed are copied into the corresponding STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head.  Once a
STRIPE_EXPANDING stripe_head is full, it is marks STRIPE_EXPAND_READY and then
is written out and released.
