md: reduce the number of synchronize_rcu() calls when multiple devices fail.
Every time a device is removed with ->hot_remove_disk() a synchronize_rcu() call is made which can delay several milliseconds in some case. If lots of devices fail at once - as could happen with a large RAID10 where one set of devices are removed all at once - these delays can add up to be very inconcenient. As failure is not reversible we can check for that first, setting a separate flag if it is found, and then all synchronize_rcu() once for all the flagged devices. Then ->hot_remove_disk() function can skip the synchronize_rcu() step if the flag is set. fix build error(Shaohua) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>
