dm raid1: split touched state into two

Split the variable "touched" into two, "touched_dirtied" and
"touched_cleaned", set when some region was dirtied or cleaned.

This will be used to optimize flushes.

After a transition from "dirty" to "clean" state we don't have flush hardware
cache on the log device. After a transition from "clean" to "dirty" the cache
must be flushed.

Before a transition from "clean" to "dirty" state we don't have to flush all
the raid legs. Before a transition from "dirty" to "clean" we must flush all
the legs to make sure that they are really in sync.
