md/raid10: fix deadlock with unaligned read during resync
If the 'bio_split' path in raid10-read is used while resync/recovery is happening it is possible to deadlock. Fix this be elevating ->nr_waiting for the duration of both parts of the split request. This fixes a bug that has been present since 2.6.22 but has only started manifesting recently for unknown reasons. It is suitable for and -stable since then.
