Next patch will unite fetch_block5 and fetch_block6. First I want to make the differences a little more clear. For RAID6 if we are writing at all and there is a failed device, then we need to load or compute every block so we can do a reconstruct-write. This case isn't needed for RAID5 - we will do a read-modify-write in that case. So make that test a separate test in fetch_block6 rather than merged with two other tests. Make a similar change in fetch_block5 so the one bit that is not needed for RAID6 is clearly separate.
