md/raid10: handle merge_bvec_fn in member devices.
Currently we don't honour merge_bvec_fn in member devices so if there is one, we force all requests to be single-page at most. This is not ideal. So enhance the raid10 merge_bvec_fn to check that function in children as well. This introduces a small problem. There is no locking around calls the ->merge_bvec_fn and subsequent calls to ->make_request. So a device added between these could end up getting a request which violates its merge_bvec_fn. Currently the best we can do is synchronize_sched(). This will work providing no preemption happens. If there is preemption, we just have to hope that new devices are largely consistent with old devices. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
