It is safe to clear a bit from the write-intent bitmap for a raid1 if we know the data has been written to all devices, which is what the current test does. But it is not always safe to update the 'events_cleared' counter in that case. This is because one request could complete successfully after some other request has partially failed. So simply disable the clearing and updating of events_cleared whenever the array is degraded. This might end up not clearing some bits that could safely be cleared, but it is safest approach. Note that the bug fixed here did not risk corrupting data by letting the array get out-of-sync. Rather it meant that when a device is removed and re-added to the array, it might incorrectly require a full recovery rather than just recovering based on the bitmap.
