[PATCH] md: raid10 read-error handling - resync and read-only
Add in correct read-error handling for resync and read-only situations. When read-only, we don't over-write, so we need to mark the failed drive in the r10_bio so we don't re-try it. During resync, we always read all blocks, so if there is a read error, we simply over-write it with the good block that we found (assuming we found one). Note that the recovery case still isn't handled in an interesting way. There is nothing useful to do for the 2-copies case. If there are 3 or more copies, then we could try reading from one of the non-missing copies, but this is a bit complicated and very rarely would be used, so I'm leaving it for now.
