md: be extra careful not to take a reference to a Faulty device.
It is important that we never increment rdev->nr_pending on a Faulty device as ->hot_remove_disk() assumes that once the Faulty flag is visible no code will take a new reference. Some places take a new reference after only check In_sync. This should be safe as the two are changed together. However to make the code more obviously safe, add checks for 'Faulty' as well. Note: the actual rule is: Never increment nr_pending if Faulty is set and Blocked is clear, never clear Faulty, and never set Blocked without holding a reference through nr_pending. fix build error (Shaohua) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
