md/raid1,raid10: don't fail devices for invalid IO errors
BLK_STS_INVAL indicates the IO request itself was invalid, not that the device has failed. When raid1 treats this as a device error, it retries on alternate mirrors which fail the same way, eventually exceeding the read error threshold and removing the device from the array. This happens when stacking configurations bypass bio_split_to_limits() in the IO path: dm-raid calls md_handle_request() directly without going through md_submit_bio(), skipping the alignment validation that would otherwise reject invalid bios early. The invalid bio reaches the lower block layers, which fail the bio with BLK_STS_INVAL, and raid1 wrongly interprets this as a device failure. Add BLK_STS_INVAL to raid1_should_handle_error() so that invalid IO errors are propagated back to the caller rather than triggering device removal. This is consistent with the previous kernel behavior when alignment checks were done earlier in the direct-io path.
