Subject: md: separate request handling

From: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>

commit 393debc23c7820211d1c8253dd6a8408a7628fe7 upstream.

With commit cc27b0c78c79, pers->make_request could bail out without handling
the bio. If that happens, we should retry.  The commit fixes md_make_request
but not other call sites. Separate the request handling part, so other call
sites can use it.
