[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).
