[PATCH] md/raid5: eliminate if-statements in cmp_stripe()

[Kuan-Wei Chiu]

Replace the conditional statements in the cmp_stripe() function with a
branchless version to improve code readability and potentially enhance
performance. The new code calculates the result using a subtraction of
comparison results, making it more concise and avoiding conditional
branches. This change does not alter the functionality of the code.
