Merge branch 'for-next' of git://neil.brown.name/md

Pull md updates from NeilBrown.

* 'for-next' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
  DM RAID: Add support for MD RAID10
  md/RAID1: Add missing case for attempting to repair known bad blocks.
  md/raid5: For odirect-write performance, do not set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE.
  md/raid1: don't abort a resync on the first badblock.
  md: remove duplicated test on ->openers when calling do_md_stop()
  raid5: Add R5_ReadNoMerge flag which prevent bio from merging at block layer
  md/raid1: prevent merging too large request
  md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD
  md/raid1: make sequential read detection per disk based
  MD RAID10: Export md_raid10_congested
  MD: Move macros from raid1*.h to raid1*.c
  MD RAID1: rename mirror_info structure
  MD RAID10: rename mirror_info structure
  MD RAID10: Fix compiler warning.
  raid5: add a per-stripe lock
  raid5: remove unnecessary bitmap write optimization
  raid5: lockless access raid5 overrided bi_phys_segments
  raid5: reduce chance release_stripe() taking device_lock
