md/raid5: fix newly-broken locking in get_active_stripe.

Browse Source 
commit 566c09c534 raid5: relieve lock contention in get_active_stripe()

modified the locking in get_active_stripe() reducing the range
protected by the (highly contended) device_lock.
Unfortunately it reduced the range too much opening up some races.

One race can occur if get_priority_stripe runs between the
test on sh->count and device_lock being taken.
This will mean that sh->lru is not empty while get_active_stripe
thinks ->count is zero resulting in a 'BUG' firing.

Another race happens if __release_stripe is called immediately
after sh->count is tested and found to be non-zero.  If STRIPE_HANDLE
is not set, get_active_stripe should increment ->active_stripes
when it increments ->count from 0, but as it didn't think it was 0,
it doesn't.

Extending device_lock to cover the test on sh->count close these
races.

While we are here, fix the two BUG tests:
 -If count is zero, then lru really must not be empty, or we've
  lock the stripe_head somehow - no other tests are relevant.
 -STRIPE_ON_RELEASE_LIST is completely independent of ->lru so
  testing it is pointless.
