[PATCH] md/bitmap: remove bitmap writeback daemon
md/bitmap currently has a separate thread to wait for writes to the bitmap file to complete (as we cannot get a callback on that action). However this isn't needed as bitmap_unplug is called from process context and waits for the writeback thread to do it's work. The same result can be achieved by doing the waiting directly in bitmap_unplug.
