Recent patch titled
  Reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap.

would sometimes leave the array with dirty bitmap bits that stay dirty.  A
subsequent write would sort things out so it isn't a big problem, but should
be fixed nonetheless.

We need to make sure that when the bitmap becomes not "allclean", the
daemon_sleep really does get set to a sensible value.
