Subject: [PATCH] md/raid1,raid10: don't handle IO error for REQ_RAHEAD and
 REQ_NOWAIT

IO with REQ_RAHEAD or REQ_NOWAIT can fail early, even if the storage medium
is fine, hence record badblocks or remove the disk from array does not
make sense.

This problem if found by lvm2 test lvcreate-large-raid, where dm-zero
will fail read ahead IO directly.

Fixes: e879a0d9cb08 ("md/raid1,raid10: don't ignore IO flags")
