Subject[patch 20/94] dm raid1: fix error count
2.6.28-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>

commit d460c65a6a9ec9e0d284864ec3a9a2d1b73f0e43 upstream.

Always increase the error count when I/O on a leg of a mirror fails.

The error count is used to decide whether to select an alternative
mirror leg.  If the target doesn't use the "handle_errors" feature, the
error count is not updated and the bio can get requeued forever by the
read callback.

Fix it by increasing error_count before the handle_errors feature
checking.
