md: be extra careful not to take a reference to a Faulty device.
It is important that we never increment rdev->nr_pending on a Faulty
device as ->hot_remove_disk() assumes that once the Faulty flag is visible
no code will take a new reference.
Some places take a new reference after only check In_sync. This should
be safe as the two are changed together. However to make the code more
obviously safe, add checks for 'Faulty' as well.
Note: the actual rule is:
Never increment nr_pending if Faulty is set and Blocked is clear,
never clear Faulty, and never set Blocked without holding a reference
through nr_pending.
