md/raid1: fix request counting bug in new 'barrier' code.



The new iobarrier implementation in raid1 (which keeps normal writes
and resync activity separate) counts every request what is not before
the current resync point in either next_window_requests or
current_window_requests.
It flags that the request is counted by setting ->start_next_window.

allow_barrier follows this model exactly and decrements one of the
*_window_requests if and only if ->start_next_window is set.

However wait_barrier(), which increments *_window_requests uses a
slightly different test for setting -.start_next_window (which is set
from the return value of this function).
So there is a possibility of the counts getting out of sync, and this
leads to the resync hanging.

So change wait_barrier() to return a non-zero value in exactly the
same cases that it increments *_window_requests.

But was introduced in 3.13-rc1.
