So the first time through this loop the block layer devices what
device to read from, then we iterate devices 1..n on error.

Whihc means if device 0 is the only one with good information in it,
we may not ever actually read from it.

I'd suggest that a hint of "-1" (or equivalent max value) should be
used for "device selects mirror leg" rather than 0, so we can
actually read from the first device on command.

i.e.
		bp->b_error = 0;
		bp->b_rw_hint = -1;
		_xfs_buf_read(bp, flags);

		if (!bp->b_error)
			return bp;

		/* manual iteration to find a good copy */
		for (i = 0; i <= blk_queue_get_mirrors(q); i++) {
			bp->b_error = 0;
			bp->b_rw_hint = i;
			_xfs_buf_read(bp, flags);
......

Just return bp here, don't need a jump label for it.
