[PATCH] md/raid1: honor REQ_NOWAIT when waiting for behind writes

Message-ID <[email protected]>
raid1 supports REQ_NOWAIT reads by avoiding waits in the barrier path
through wait_read_barrier(). However, a read can still block on a
WriteMostly device when the array uses a bitmap and there are
outstanding behind writes.

In that case raid1 unconditionally calls wait_behind_writes(), which
may sleep until all behind writes complete. As a result, a REQ_NOWAIT
read can block despite the caller explicitly requesting non-blocking
behavior.

This ensures that raid1 consistently honors REQ_NOWAIT reads across all
paths that may otherwise wait for behind writes.

Fixes: 5aa705039c4f ("md: raid1 add nowait support")
