md/raid456: distribute raid processing over multiple cores
Now that the resources to handle stripe_head operations are allocated
percpu it is possible for raid5d to distribute stripe handling over
multiple cores. This conversion also adds a call to cond_resched() in
the non-multicore case to prevent one core from getting monopolized for
raid operations.
