Neil Brown 387bb17374 [PATCH] md: fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5 
It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying
device.  So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will
fail and confuse RAID5.

So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters
for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through
the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests.

Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because
earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath
us.

Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has
not been tested and was badly broken.  This patch fixes that code.
