    md/raid5-cache: bump flush stripe batch size · 84890c03

    Bump the flush stripe batch size to 2048. For my 12 disks raid
    array, the stripes takes:
    12 * 4k * 2048 = 96MB
    
    This is still quite small. A hardware raid card generally has 1GB size,
    which we suggest the raid5-cache has similar cache size.
    
    The advantage of a big batch size is we can dispatch a lot of IO in the
    same time, then we can do some scheduling to make better IO pattern.
    
    Last patch prioritizes stripes, so we don't worry about a big flush
    stripe batch will starve normal stripes.
