dm raid1: hold write bios when errors are handled
Hold all write bios when errors are handled.
Previously the failures list was used only when handling errors with
a userspace daemon such as dmeventd. Now, it is always used for all bios.
The regions where some writes failed must be marked as nosync. This can only
be done in process context (i.e. in raid1 workqueue), not in the
write_callback function.
Previously the write would succeed if writing to at least one leg
succeeded. This is wrong because data from the failed leg may be
replicated to the correct leg. Now, if using a userspace daemon, the
write with some failures will be held until the daemon has done its job
and reconfigured the array. If not using a daemon, the write still
succeeds if at least one leg succeeds. This is bad, but it is consistent
with current behavior.
