dm raid1: use timer

This patch replaces the schedule() in the main kmirrord thread with a timer.
The schedule() could introduce an unwanted delay when work is ready to be
processed.

The code instead calls wake() when there's work to be done immediately, and
delayed_wake() after a failure to give a short delay before retrying.
