dm raid1: hold all write bios when leg fails
Hold all write bios when leg fails and errors are handled

When using a userspace daemon such as dmeventd to handle errors, we must
delay completing  bios until it has done its job.
This patch prevents the following race:
  - primary leg fails
  - write "1" fail, the write is held, secondary leg is set default
  - write "2" goes straight to the secondary leg
