Nigel Croxon 4f4fd7c579 Don't jump to compute_result state from check_result state
Changing state from check_state_check_result to
check_state_compute_result not only is unsafe but also doesn't
appear to serve a valid purpose.  A raid6 check should only be
pushing out extra writes if doing repair and a mis-match occurs.
The stripe dev management will already try and do repair writes
for failing sectors.

This patch makes the raid6 check_state_check_result handling
work more like raid5's.  If somehow too many failures for a
check, just quit the check operation for the stripe.  When any
checks pass, don't try and use check_state_compute_result for
a purpose it isn't needed for and is unsafe for.  Just mark the
stripe as in sync for passing its parity checks and let the
stripe dev read/write code and the bad blocks list do their
job handling I/O errors.

Repro steps from Xiao:

These are the steps to reproduce this problem:
1. redefined OPT_MEDIUM_ERR_ADDR to 12000 in scsi_debug.c
2. insmod scsi_debug.ko dev_size_mb=11000  max_luns=1 num_tgts=1
3. mdadm --create /dev/md127 --level=6 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sde1 /dev/sde2 /dev/sde3 /dev/sde5 /dev/sde6
sde is the disk created by scsi_debug
4. echo "2" >/sys/module/scsi_debug/parameters/opts
5. raid-check

It panic:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
