[PATCH] md: add write-behind support for md/raid1
If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the
bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is
enabled for WriteMostly devices.
Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io)
when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be
cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.
This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being
written. If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write
semantics.
