Subject: md/raid5: fix FUA request handling in ops_run_io()

From: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]>

commit b062962edb086011e94ec4d9eb3f6a6d814f2a8f upstream.

Commit e9c7469bb4f5 ("md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support")
introduced R5_WantFUA flag and set rw to WRITE_FUA in that case.
However remaining code still checks whether rw is exactly same
as WRITE or not, so FUAed-write ends up with being treated as
READ. Fix it.

This bug has been present since 2.6.37 and the fix is suitable for any
-stable kernel since then.  It is not clear why this has not caused
more problems.
