MD update for 4.8

Hi,

Please pull MD update for 4.8. The patches are based on 4.7 rc initially, I merged them to lastest upstream to fix merge conflict against block layer changes:
- A bunch of patches from Neil Brown to fix RCU usage
- Two performance improvement patches from Tomasz Majchrzak
- Alexey Obitotskiy fixes module refcount issue
- Arnd Bergmann fixes time granularity
- Cong Wang fixes a list corruption issue
- Guoqing Jiang fixes a deadlock in md-cluster
- A null pointer deference fix from me
- Song Liu fixes misuse of raid6 rmw
- Other trival/cleanup fixes from Guoqing Jiang and Xiao Ni

Thanks,
Shaohua
