md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'.
i.e. if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed.
This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called
(almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of
md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call
md_check_recovery as well.
So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into
md_check_recovery.
The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not
md_handle_safemode. This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a
no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing
we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)

i.e. missing or failed drives are moved to the end of the list. The means
a 3 drive md array with the first drive missing can be shrunk to a two
drive array. Currently that isn't possible.
Also, the "last_used" device number might be out-of-range after the number
of devices is reduced, so we set it to 0.

We we set the too early, they may still be in place and possibly get called
even though the array didn't get set up properly.

This patch changes calls to synchronize_kernel(), deprecated in the earlier
"Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacement" patch to instead call the new
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_sched() APIs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
