If first_bad == this_sector when we get the WriteMostly disk in read_balance(), valid disk will be returned with zero max_sectors. It'll lead to a dead loop in make_request(), and OOM will happen because of endless allocation of struct bio. Since we can't get data from this disk in this case, so continue for another disk.
