md/raid1: improve handling of pages allocated for write-behind.

The current handling and freeing of these pages is a bit fragile.
We only keep the list of allocated pages in each bio, so we need to
still have a valid bio when freeing the pages, which is a bit clumsy.

So simply store the allocated page list in the r1_bio so it can easily
be found and freed when we are finished with the r1_bio.
