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

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

Plug and unplug are 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 if waitqueue is empty.

Fio test script:

[global]
name=random reads and writes
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
readwrite=randrw
rwmixread=70
iodepth=64
buffered=0
filename=/dev/md0
size=1G
runtime=30
time_based
randrepeat=0
norandommap
refill_buffers
ramp_time=10
bs=4k
numjobs=400
group_reporting=1
[job1]

Test result with ramdisk raid10(By Ali):

	Before this patch	With this patch
READ	IOPS=2033k		IOPS=3642k
WRITE	IOPS=871k		IOPS=1561K

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