Subject: [PATCH] MD: raid1, fix BUG caused by flags handling

Commit 74450be1 (block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request)
added direct test of flags in the & form:
const bool do_sync = (bio->bi_rw & REQ_SYNC);
But this doesn't fit into bool with my compiler (gcc 4.5). So change
the type to ulong to avoid the bug.

The BUG looks like:
EXT3-fs (md1): using internal journal

Neil, did you expect me to send a patch for this? It's 2 weeks since
the cause is known, but it is not in the -next tree yet.

Actually there are more than the two below introduced by the commit.
Hold on, I will post v2.
