md/raid1: add failfast handling for reads.
If a device is marked FailFast and it is not the only device we can read from, we mark the bio with REQ_FAILFAST_* flags. If this does fail, we don't try read repair but just allow failure. If it was the last device it doesn't fail of course, so the retry happens on the same device - this time without FAILFAST. A subsequent failure will not retry but will just pass up the error. During resync we may use FAILFAST requests and on a failure we will simply use the other device(s). During recovery we will only use FAILFAST in the unusual case were there are multiple places to read from - i.e. if there are > 2 devices. If we get a failure we will fail the device and complete the resync/recovery with remaining devices. The new R1BIO_FailFast flag is set on read reqest to suggest the a FAILFAST request might be acceptable. The rdev needs to have FailFast set as well for the read to actually use REQ_FAILFAST_*. We need to know there are at least two working devices before we can set R1BIO_FailFast, so we mustn't stop looking at the first device we find. So the "min_pending == 0" handling to not exit early, but too always choose the best_pending_disk if min_pending == 0. The spinlocked region in raid1_error() in enlarged to ensure that if two bios, reading from two different devices, fail at the same time, then there is no risk that both devices will be marked faulty, leaving zero "In_sync" devices.
