md/raid1,raid10: fix deadlock with freeze_array() When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains all pending requests by calling freeze_array(). This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep, but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather than in the per-array request queue. When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process plug to the per-array request queue (from which flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so it will block forever. So add the requires wake_up() calls. This bug was introduced by commit f54a9d0e59c4bea3db733921ca9147612a6f292c for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present since linux-3.6. As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is suitable for -stable.
