[PATCH] dm/raid1: Remove VLA usage

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this avoids VLAs
in dm-raid1.c by just using the maximum size for the stack arrays.
The nr_mirrors value was already capped at 9, so this makes it a trivial
adjustment to the array sizes.
