[PATCH] md: increase the delay before marking metadata clean, and make it configurable

When a md array has been idle (no writes) for 20msecs it is marked as 'clean'.
 This delay turns out to be too short for some real workloads.  So increase it
to 200msec (the time to update the metadata should be a tiny fraction of that)
and make it sysfs-configurable.
