md/r5cache: disable write back for degraded array
write-back cache in degraded mode introduces corner cases to the array. Although we try to cover all these corner cases, it is safer to just disable write-back cache when the array is in degraded mode. In this patch, we disable writeback cache for degraded mode: 1. On device failure, if the array enters degraded mode, raid5_error() will submit async job r5c_disable_writeback_async to disable writeback; 2. In r5c_journal_mode_store(), it is invalid to enable writeback in degraded mode; 3. In r5c_try_caching_write(), stripes with s->failed>0 will be handled in write-through mode.
