Dan Williams 417b8d4ac8 md/raid456: downlevel multicore operations to raid_run_ops
The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe
processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains
(+4%).  However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes
bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation
of handle_stripe().  As reported by Holger this can fall into a
pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance
loss).

By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological
stripe_head bouncing is eliminated.  This version still exhibits an
average 11% throughput loss for:

	mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6
	echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size
	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048

...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for
further multicore experimentation.
