raid1/raid10: slow down resync if there is non-resync activity pending

A performance drop of mkfs has been observed on RAID10 during resync
since commit 09314799 ("md: remove 'go_faster' option from
->sync_request()"). Resync sends so many IOs it slows down non-resync
IOs significantly (few times). Add a short delay to a resync. The
previous long sleep (1s) has proven unnecessary, even very short delay
brings performance right.

The change also applied to raid1. The problem has not been observed on
raid1, however it shares barriers code with raid10 so it might be an
issue for some setup too.
