    md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up. · 4706b349

    If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, 
    we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever)
    rather than failing the whole array.
    
    However the codes doesn't quite do that.  We attempt a readbalance
    which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. 
    
    Instead:  If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just
    failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry.
