md: kill STRIPE_OP_MOD_DMA in raid5 offload
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> This micro-optimization allowed the raid code to skip a re-read of the parity block after checking parity. It took advantage of the fact that xor-offload-engines have their own internal result buffer and can check parity without writing to memory. Remove it for the following reasons: 1/ It is a layering violation for MD to need to manage the DMA and non-DMA paths within async_xor_zero_sum 2/ Bad precedent to toggle the 'ops' flags outside the lock 3/ Hard to realize a performance gain as reads will not need an updated parity block and writes will dirty it anyways.
