Commit 0c0be98bbe67 ("md/raid10: prevent unnecessary calls to wake_up()
in fast path") missed one place, for example, while testing with:

fio -direct=1 -rw=write/randwrite -iodepth=1 ...

Then plug and unplug will be called for each io, then wake_up() from
raid10_unplug() will cause lock contention as well.

Avoid this contention by using wake_up_barrier() instead of wake_up(),
where spin_lock is not held while waitqueue is empty.

By the way, in this scenario, each blk_plug_cb() will be allocated and
freed for each io, this seems need to be optimized as well.

I think ./scripts/checkpatch.pl would recommend using "Closes" instead of
"Link" after "Reported-by". Please follow this pattern.

Thanks,
Song
