Subject: [PATCH -next] md/raid1: don't split discard io for write behind

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

Currently, discad io is treated the same as normal write io, and for
write behind case, io size is limited to:

BIO_MAX_VECS * (PAGE_SIZE >> 9)

For 0.5KB sector size and 4KB PAGE_SIZE, this is just 1MB. For
consequence, if 'WriteMostly' is set to one of the underlying disks,
then diskcard io will be splited into 1MB and it will take a long time
for the diskcard to finish.

Fix this problem by disable write behind for discard io.
