raid10: improve random reads performance
RAID10 random read performance is lower than expected due to excessive spinlock utilisation which is required mostly for rebuild/resync. Simplify allow_barrier as it's in IO path and encounters a lot of unnecessary congestion. As lower_barrier just takes a lock in order to decrement a counter, convert counter (nr_pending) into atomic variable and remove the spin lock. There is also a congestion for wake_up (it uses lock internally) so call it only when it's really needed. As wake_up is not called constantly anymore, ensure process waiting to raise a barrier is notified when there are no more waiting IOs.
