Subject: md: avoid deadlock when md_set_badblocks.

commit 905b0297a9533d7a6ee00a01a990456636877dd6 upstream.

When operate harddisk and hit errors, md_set_badblocks is called after
scsi_restart_operations which already disabled the irq. but md_set_badblocks
will call write_sequnlock_irq and enable irq. so softirq can preempt the
current thread and that may cause a deadlock. I think this situation should
use write_sequnlock_irqsave/irqrestore instead.

I met the situation and the call trace is below:

This bug was introduce in commit  2e8ac30312973dd20e68073653
(the first time rdev_set_badblock was call from interrupt context),
so this patch is appropriate for 3.5 and subsequent kernels.
