Subject: dm flakey: error READ bios during the down_interval

From: Mike Snitzer <[email protected]>

commit 99f3c90d0d85708e7401a81ce3314e50bf7f2819 upstream.

When the corrupt_bio_byte feature was introduced it caused READ bios to no longer be errored with -EIO during the down_interval. This had to do with the complexity of needing to submit READs if the corrupt_bio_byte feature was used.

Fix it so READ bios are properly errored with -EIO; doing so early in flakey_map() as long as there isn't a match for the corrupt_bio_byte feature.
