md: avoid endless recovery loop when waiting for fail device to complete.
If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while
to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the
array in remove_and_add_spares.
It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to
recover it even though it is failed.
This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over
and over again.
We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a
spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot
proceed.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any
kernel since then.
