[PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_request
1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced)
from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit
in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account
in the speed calculations.
Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
that is coming will use this.
