Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 080/293] Revert "dm mirror: use all available
 legs on multiple failures"

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit cd15fb64ee56192760ad5c1e2ad97a65e735b18b ]

This reverts commit 12a7cf5ba6c776a2621d8972c7d42e8d3d959d20.

This commit apparently attempted to fix an issue that didn't really
exist, furthermore: this commit is the source of deadlocks and crashes
seen in multiple cases related to failing the primary mirror dev while
syncing.
