md: don't check MD_SB_CHANGE_CLEAN in md_allow_write Only MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING should be used to wait for transition from clean to dirty. Checking also MD_SB_CHANGE_CLEAN is unnecessary and can race with e.g. md_do_sync(). This sporadically causes a hang when changing consistency policy during resync: INFO: task mdadm:6183 blocked for more than 30 seconds.
