dm raid1: one kmirrord per mirror

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror
set.  This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the
persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror.  The single
instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits
which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain.  But kmirrord
never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync
write_bits.

_mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the
workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before
destroying it.
