Subject: [PATCH 5.11 285/342] md/raid1: properly indicate failure when ending a failed write request

From: Paul Clements <paul.clements@...sios.com>

commit 2417b9869b81882ab90fd5ed1081a1cb2d4db1dd upstream.

This patch addresses a data corruption bug in raid1 arrays using bitmaps.
Without this fix, the bitmap bits for the failed I/O end up being cleared.

Since we are in the failure leg of raid1_end_write_request, the request
either needs to be retried (R1BIO_WriteError) or failed (R1BIO_Degraded).

Fixes: eeba6809d8d5 ("md/raid1: end bio when the device faulty")
