Subject: md/raid10: submit bio directly to replacement disk

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6d399783e9d4e9bd44931501948059d24ad96ff8 ]

Commit 57c67df(md/raid10: submit IO from originating thread instead of md thread) submits bio directly for normal disks but not for replacement disks. There is no point we shouldn't do this for replacement disks.
