md/raid5: Improve performance for sequential IO

commit fc05e06e60 upstream.

Commit 7e55c60acf ("md/raid5: Pivot raid5_make_request()") changed the
order in which requests for underlying disks are created. Since for
large sequential IO adding of requests frequently races with md_raid5
thread submitting bios to underlying disks, this results in a change in
IO pattern because intermediate states of new order of request creation
result in more smaller discontiguous requests. For RAID5 on top of three
rotational disks our performance testing revealed this results in
regression in write throughput:

iozone -a -s 131072000 -y 4 -q 8 -i 0 -i 1 -R

before 7e55c60acfbb:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  493670  525964   524575   513384
       131072000       8  540467  532880   512028   513703

after 7e55c60acfbb:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  421785  456184   531278   509248
       131072000       8  459283  456354   528449   543834

To reduce the amount of discontiguous requests we can start generating
requests with the stripe with the lowest chunk offset as that has the
best chance of being adjacent to IO queued previously. This improves the
performance to:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  497682  506317   518043   514559
       131072000       8  514048  501886   506453   504319

restoring big part of the regression.
