All's well that ends well :-)

OK, below are two patches.
The first fixes the data corruption race.  You'll almost never hit it with
the bug that the second patch fixes, but in theory you could.  Without the
second patch you can hit it easily.

The second patch fixes the problem where the replacement device stayed a
replacement even after the replacement operation completed.

The symptoms are easy to reproduce - once you know what to look for - and the
patches work for me so I'll be sending them to Linus  tomorrow.  But extra
testing always helps.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

    md/raid10: close race that lose writes lost when replacement completes.
    
    When a replacement operation completes there is a small window
    when the original device is marked 'faulty' and the replacement
    still looks like a replacement.  The faulty should be removed and
    the replacement moved in place very quickly, bit it isn't instant.
    
    So the code write out to the array must handle the possibility that
    the only working device for some slot in the replacement - but it
    doesn't.  If the primary device is faulty it just gives up.  This
    can lead to corruption.
    
    So make the code more robust: if either  the primary or the
    replacement is present and working, write to them.  Only when
    neither are present do we give up.
    
    This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
    3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.

    md/raid10: decrement correct pending counter when writing to replacement.
    
    When a write to a replacement device completes, we carefully
    and correctly found the rdev that the write actually went to
    and the blithely called rdev_dec_pending on the primary rdev,
    even if this write was to the replacement.
    
    This means that any writes to an array while a replacement
    was ongoing would cause the nr_pending count for the primary
    device to go negative, so it could never be removed.
    
    This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in
    3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then.
