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.
