[071/111] Btrfs: do not mark the chunk as readonly if in degraded mode

From: Greg KH

2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f48b90756bd834dda852ff514f2690d3175b1f44 upstream.

If a RAID setup has chunks that span multiple disks, and one of those
disks has failed, btrfs_chunk_readonly will return 1 since one of the
disks in that chunk's stripes is dead and therefore not writeable. So
instead if we are in degraded mode, return 0 so we can go ahead and
allocate stuff. Without this patch all of the block groups in a RAID1
setup will end up read-only, which will mean we can't add new disks to
the array since we won't be able to make allocations.
