md: only call set_in_sync() when it is expected to succeed.
Since commit 4ad23a976413 ("MD: use per-cpu counter for writes_pending"), set_in_sync() is substantially more expensive: it can wait for a full RCU grace period which can be 10s of milliseconds. So we should only call it when the cost is justified. md_check_recovery() currently calls set_in_sync() every time it finds anything to do (on non-external active arrays). For an array performing resync or recovery, this will be quite often. Each call will introduce a delay to the md thread, which can noticeable affect IO submission latency. In md_check_recovery() we only need to call set_in_sync() if 'safemode' was non-zero at entry, meaning that there has been not recent IO. So we save this "safemode was nonzero" state, and only call set_in_sync() if it was non-zero. This measurably reduces mean and maximum IO submission latency during resync/recovery.
