[PATCH] md: enable the bitmap write-back daemon and wait for it.

Currently we don't wait for updates to the bitmap to be flushed to disk
properly.  The infrastructure all there, but it isn't being used....

A separate kernel thread (bitmap_writeback_daemon) is needed to wait for each
page as we cannot get callbacks when a page write completes.
