md-bitmap: don't use ->index for pages backing the bitmap file

The md driver allocates pages for storing the bitmap file data, which
are not page cache pages, and then stores the page granularity file
offset in page->index, which is a field that isn't really valid except
for page cache pages.

Use a separate index for the superblock, and use the scheme used at
read size to recalculate the index for the bitmap pages instead.

md/md-bitmap: add a new helper to unplug bitmap asynchrously

If bitmap is enabled, bitmap must update before submitting write io, this
is why unplug callback must move these io to 'conf->pending_io_list' if
'current->bio_list' is not empty, which will suffer performance
degradation.

A new helper md_bitmap_unplug_async() is introduced to submit bitmap io
in a kworker, so that submit bitmap io in raid10_unplug() doesn't require
that 'current->bio_list' is empty.

This patch prepare to limit the number of plugged bio.

md/raid1-10: submit write io directly if bitmap is not enabled

Commit 6cce3b23f6f8 ("[PATCH] md: write intent bitmap support for raid10")
add bitmap support, and it changed that write io is submitted through
daemon thread because bitmap need to be updated before write io. And
later, plug is used to fix performance regression because all the write io
will go to demon thread, which means io can't be issued concurrently.

However, if bitmap is not enabled, the write io should not go to daemon
thread in the first place, and plug is not needed as well.

md: Avoid namespace collision with bitmap API

bitmap API (include/linux/bitmap.h) has 'bitmap' prefix for its methods.

On the other hand MD bitmap API is special case.
Adding 'md' prefix to it to avoid name space collision.

No functional changes intended.

md: rename some drivers/md/ files to have an "md-" prefix

Motivated by the desire to illiminate the imprecise nature of
DM-specific patches being unnecessarily sent to both the MD maintainer
and mailing-list. Which is born out of the fact that DM files also
reside in drivers/md/

Now all MD-specific files in drivers/md/ start with either "raid" or
"md-" and the MAINTAINERS file has been updated accordingly.

Shaohua: don't change module name
