[PATCH V6 0/3] md/raid10: Improve handling raid10 discard request

[Xiao Ni <xni@redhat.com>]

Hi all

Now mkfs on raid10 which is combined with ssd/nvme disks takes a long time.
This patch set tries to resolve this problem.

v1:
Coly helps to review these patches and give some suggestions:
One bug is found. If discard bio is across one stripe but bio size is
bigger than one stripe size. After spliting, the bio will be NULL.
In this version, it checks whether discard bio size is bigger than
(2*stripe_size). 
In raid10_end_discard_request, it's better to check R10BIO_Uptodate
is set or not. It can avoid write memory to improve performance. 
Add more comments for calculating addresses.

v2:
Fix error by checkpatch.pl
Fix one bug for offset layout. v1 calculates wrongly split size
Add more comments to explain how the discard range of each component disk
is decided.

v3:
add support for far layout
Change the patch name

v4:
Pull codes that wait for blocked device into a seprate function
It can't use (stripe_size-1) as a mask to calculate. (stripe_size-1) may
not be power of 2.
It doesn't need to use a full copy of geo.
Fix warning by checkpatch.pl

v5:
In 32bit platform, it doesn't support 64bit devide by 32bit value.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>

v6:
Move the codes that calculate discard start/size into specific raid type.
Remove discard support for reshape
