md/raid5: fix bug that could result in reads from a failed device.



This bug was introduced in 415e72d0
which was in 2.6.36.

There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when
it is removed from the array.  During this time we might still read
from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could
read stale data.

We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on
In_sync is sufficient.  Since we started allowing reads from the early
part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too.

This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch
might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier.
