Yu Kuai 257ac239ff md/raid1: fix choose next idle in read_balance()
Commit 12cee5a8a2 ("md/raid1: prevent merging too large request") add
the case choose next idle in read_balance():

read_balance:
 for_each_rdev
  if(next_seq_sect == this_sector || dist == 0)
  -> sequential reads
   best_disk = disk;
   if (...)
    choose_next_idle = 1
    continue;

 for_each_rdev
 -> iterate next rdev
  if (pending == 0)
   best_disk = disk;
   -> choose the next idle disk
   break;

  if (choose_next_idle)
   -> keep using this rdev if there are no other idle disk
   contine

However, commit 2e52d449bc ("md/raid1: add failfast handling for reads.")
remove the code:

-               /* If device is idle, use it */
-               if (pending == 0) {
-                       best_disk = disk;
-                       break;
-               }

Hence choose next idle will never work now, fix this problem by
following:

1) don't set best_disk in this case, read_balance() will choose the best
   disk after iterating all the disks;
2) add 'pending' so that other idle disk will be chosen;
3) add a new local variable 'sequential_disk' to record the disk, and if
   there is no other idle disk, 'sequential_disk' will be chosen;

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.
