md/raid1: simplify handle_read_error().

handle_read_error() duplicates a lot of the work that raid1_read_request()
does, so it makes sense to just use that function.
This doesn't quite work as handle_read_error() relies on the same r1bio
being re-used so that, in the case of a read-only array, setting
IO_BLOCKED in r1bio->bios[] ensures read_balance() won't re-use
that device.
So we need to allow a r1bio to be passed to raid1_read_request(), and to
have that function mostly initialise the r1bio, but leave the bios[]
array untouched.

Two parts of handle_read_error() that need to be preserved are the warning
message it prints, so they are conditionally added to raid1_read_request().

Note that this highlights a minor bug on alloc_r1bio().  It doesn't
initalise the bios[] array, so it is possible that old content is there,
which might cause read_balance() to ignore some devices with no good reason.

With this change, we no longer need inc_pending(), or the sectors_handled
arg to alloc_r1bio().

As handle_read_error() is called from raid1d() and allocates memory,
there is tiny chance of a deadlock.  All element of various pools
could be queued waiting for raid1 to handle them, and there may be no
extra memory free.
Achieving guaranteed forward progress would probably require a second
thread and another mempool.  Instead of that complexity, add
__GFP_HIGH to any allocations when read1_read_request() is called
from raid1d.
