NeilBrown 97e4f42d62 md: occasionally checkpoint drive recovery to reduce duplicate effort after a crash
Version 1.x metadata has the ability to record the status of a
partially completed drive recovery.
However we only update that record on a clean shutdown.
It would be nice to update it on unclean shutdowns too, particularly
when using a bitmap that removes much to the 'sync' effort after an
unclean shutdown.

One complication with checkpointing recovery is that we only know
where we are up to in terms of IO requests started, not which ones
have completed.  And we need to know what has completed to record
how much is recovered.  So occasionally pause the recovery until all
submitted requests are completed, then update the record of where
we are up to.

When we have a bitmap, we already do that pause occasionally to keep
the bitmap up-to-date.  So enhance that code to record the recovery
offset and schedule a superblock update.
And when there is no bitmap, just pause 16 times during the resync to
do a checkpoint.
'16' is a fairly arbitrary number.  But we don't really have any good
way to judge how often is acceptable, and it seems like a reasonable
number for now.
