Redundant data is used to enhance data fault tolerance, and the storage
method for redundant data vary depending on the RAID levels. And it's
important to maintain the consistency of redundant data.
Bitmap is used to record which data blocks have been synchronized and which
ones need to be resynchronized or recovered. Each bit in the bitmap
represents a segment of data in the array. When a bit is set, it indicates
that the multiple redundant copies of that data segment may not be
consistent. Data synchronization can be performed based on the bitmap after
power failure or readding a disk. If there is no bitmap, a full disk
synchronization is required.
Due to known performance issues with md-bitmap and the unreasonable
implementations:
- self-managed IO submitting like filemap_write_page();
- global spin_lock
I have decided not to continue optimizing based on the current bitmap
implementation, this new bitmap is invented without locking from IO fast
path and can be used with fast disks.
For designs and details, see the comments in drivers/md-llbitmap.c.

Currently, raid456 must perform a whole array initial recovery to build
initail xor data, then IO to the array won't have to read all the blocks
in underlying disks.
This behavior will affect IO performance a lot, and nowadays there are
huge disks and the initial recovery can take a long time. Hence llbitmap
will support lazy initial recovery in following patches. This method is
used to check if data blocks is synced or not, if not then IO will still
have to read all blocks for raid456.

This method is used to check if blocks can be skipped before calling
into pers->sync_request(), llbitmap will use this method to skip
resync for unwritten/clean data blocks, and recovery/check/repair for

For the case that IO failed for one rdev, the bit will be mark as NEEDED
in following cases:
1) If badblocks is set and rdev is not faulty;
2) If rdev is faulty;
Case 1) is useless because synchronize data to badblocks make no sense.
Case 2) can be replaced with mddev->degraded.
Also remove R1BIO_Degraded, R10BIO_Degraded and STRIPE_DEGRADED since
