md: add proper write-congestion reporting to RAID1 and RAID10.
RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by
a separate thread. This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is
active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to
queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all.
However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a
while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput. The infinite
queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so
it doesn't suffer from this problem).
So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests. By default
it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable. Make it configurable
via module option just in case someone finds a regression.
