2.4.7 - strange reiserfs and software RAID5 behavior

2.4.7 - strange reiserfs and software RAID5 behavior

[Basil A. Evseenko]

When raid5 daemon do resync array after unclean shutdown, mounting
_other_ reiserfs filesystems is too slow. (for example: 5 seconds without
running resync daemon,  2 minutes with it). This bug only arrives on 
uniprocessor machines - on SMP all work fine. I trace mount execution
it's sleep on __wait_on_buffer.
