[PATCH] md: fix innocuous bug in raid6 stripe_to_pdidx
stripe_to_pdidx finds the index of the parity disk for a given stripe. It
assumes raid5 in that it uses "disks-1" to determine the number of data disks.
This is incorrect for raid6 but fortunately the two usages cancel each other
out. The only way that 'data_disks' affects the calculation of pd_idx in
raid5_compute_sector is when it is divided into the sector number. But as
that sector number is calculated by multiplying in the wrong value of
'data_disks' the division produces the right value.
So it is innocuous but needs to be fixed.
Also change the calculation of raid_disks in compute_blocknr to make it
more obviously correct (it seems at first to always use disks-1 too).
