- fire up a new thread for parity re-writes, copybacks, and reconstructs.
The ioctl's which trigger these actions now return immediately.
- add progress accounting for the above actions.

from the tsleep()'s (they probably shouldn't have been there in the

is freed for structures shipped off to routines that run asynchronously
relative to the calling routine). Fix a few other tsleep's while we're at it.

for cleaning up the rest of the code, and adding new functionality.
No functional changes to the kernel code in this commit.
