Applied to md-7.3 with a few changes, please check the latest md-7.3 branch=
:

   - Patch 2: removed the redundant if (new_pool) before mempool_destroy(ne=
w_pool) to fix the
     strict checkpatch warning.

   - Patch 3: rewrote raid_end_bio_io() minimally so the existing R10BIO_* =
bit-test lines stay in
     place and checkpatch no longer flags CamelCase additions. This also pr=
eserves setting
     R10BIO_Returned in r10_bio->state before freeing.

   - Patch 3 commit message: corrected the listed final order to free_r10bi=
o() -> bio_endio() ->
     allow_barrier().
