3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: NeilBrown <ne...@suse.de> commit ce7d363aaf1e28be8406a2976220944ca487e8ca upstream. Since commit 1ed850f356a0a422013846b5291acff08815008b md/raid5: make sure to_read and to_write never go negative. It has been possible for handle_stripe_dirtying to be called when there isn't actually any work to do. It then calls schedule_reconstruction() which will set R5_LOCKED on the parity block(s) even when nothing else is happening. This then causes problems in do_release_stripe(). So add checks to schedule_reconstruction() so that if it doesn't find anything to do, it just aborts. This bug was introduced in v3.7, so the patch is suitable for -stable kernels since then.
