md/raid1: perform bad-block tests for WriteMostly devices too.
We normally try to avoid reading from write-mostly devices, but when we do we really have to check for bad blocks and be sure not to try reading them. With the current code, best_good_sectors might not get set and that causes zero-length read requests to be send down which is very confusing. This bug was introduced in commit d2eb35acfdccbe2 and so the patch is suitable for 3.1.x and 3.2.x Reported-and-tested-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Reported-and-tested-by: Art -kwaak- van Breemen <ard@telegraafnet.nl> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
