[PATCH] md/raid10: prioritize adding disk to 'removed' mirror

[linan666]

From: Li Nan <linan122@xxxxxxxxxx>

When add a new disk to raid10, it will traverse conf->mirror from start
and find one of the following mirror to add:
  1. mirror->rdev is set to WantReplacement and it have no replacement,
     set new disk to mirror->replacement.
  2. no mirror->rdev, set new disk to mirror->rdev.

There is a array as below (sda is set to WantReplacement):

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       8        0        0      active sync set-A   /dev/sda
       -       0        0        1      removed
       2       8       32        2      active sync set-A   /dev/sdc
       3       8       48        3      active sync set-B   /dev/sdd

Use 'mdadm --add' to add a new disk to this array, the new disk will
become sda's replacement instead of add to removed position, which is
confusing for users. Meanwhile, after new disk recovery success, sda
will be set to Faulty.

Prioritize adding disk to 'removed' mirror is a better choice. In the
above scenario, the behavior is the same as before, except sda will not
be deleted. Before other disks are added, continued use sda is more
reliable.
