[PATCH] dm: fix rh_dec()/rh_inc() race in dm-raid1.c
Fix another bug in dm-raid1.c that the dirty region may stay in or be moved
to clean list and freed while in use.
It happens as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rh_dec()
if (atomic_dec_and_test(pending))
<the region is still marked dirty>
rh_inc()
if the region is clean
mark the region dirty
and remove from clean list
mark the region clean
and move to clean list
atomic_inc(pending)
At this stage, the region is in clean list and will be mistakenly reclaimed
by rh_update_states() later.
