md/raid5: fix bug that could result in reads from a failed device.
commit 355840e7a7e56bb2834fd3b0da64da5465f8aeaa upstream.
This bug was introduced in 415e72d034c50520ddb7ff79e7d1792c1306f0c9
which was in 2.6.36.
There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when
it is removed from the array. During this time we might still read
from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could
read stale data.
We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on
In_sync is sufficient. Since we started allowing reads from the early
part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too.
This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch
might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier.
