H A Draid1.c34cab6f4 Thu Jul 23 18:22:16 CDT 2015 NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from last working device'.

When we get a read error from the last working device, we don't
try to repair it, and don't fail the device. We simple report a
read error to the caller.

However the current test for 'is this the last working device' is
wrong.
When there is only one fully working device, it assumes that a
non-faulty device is that device. However a spare which is rebuilding
would be non-faulty but so not the only working device.

So change the test from "!Faulty" to "In_sync". If ->degraded says
there is only one fully working device and this device is in_sync,
this must be the one.

This bug has existed since we allowed read_balance to read from
a recovering spare in v3.0
