md: support blocking writes to an array on device failure
Allows a userspace metadata handler to take action upon detecting a device
failure.
Based on an original patch by Neil Brown.
Changes:
-added blocked_wait waitqueue to rdev
-don't qualify Blocked with Faulty always let userspace block writes
-added md_wait_for_blocked_rdev to wait for the block device to be clear, if
userspace misses the notification another one is sent every 5 seconds
-set MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED after clearing "blocked"
-kill DoBlock flag, just test mddev->external
