[PATCH] md/md-bitmap: bitmap pages leaked after recovery

The bitmap pages leaked after recovery if successful writes occur
concurrently during array degradation/recovery.

We performed write I/Os to an MD RAID1 array while it was in a degraded
state or actively undergoing recovery. Even after the array recovery
successfully reached 100%, the disk status returned to normal ([UU]),
and all I/Os completely stopped, the number of bitmap pages
(bitmap: n/N pages in /proc/mdstat) never dropped back to 0, resulting
in a persistent memory leak of bitmap pages.

Bitmap pages remain permanently allocated in the kernel memory even after
the array has fully returned to a healthy state, leading to a kernel
memory leak.

When a disk is re-added and recovery starts, MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set
in mddev->recovery.  The else if condition evaluates to false for normal
concurrent writes during recovery. NEEDED_MASK is never applied to these
blocks.

Fixes: 4f0e7d0e03b7
md/md-bitmap: remove the last parameter for bimtap_ops->endwrite()
This is becauses removing success caused bitmap_endwrite()
to treat mddev->degraded as a blanket trigger for NEEDED_MASK.
