md/raid5: skip 2-failure compute when other disk is R5_LOCKED

When skip_copy is enabled on a doubly-degraded RAID6, a device that is
being written to will be in R5_LOCKED state with R5_UPTODATE cleared.
If a new read triggers fetch_block() while the write is still in
flight, the 2-failure compute path may select this locked device as a
compute target because it is not R5_UPTODATE.

Because skip_copy makes the device page point directly to the bio page,
reconstructing data into it might be risky. Also, since the compute
marks the device R5_UPTODATE, it triggers WARN_ON in ops_run_io()
which checks that R5_SkipCopy and R5_UPTODATE are not both set.

This can be reproduced by running small-range concurrent read/write on
a doubly-degraded RAID6 with skip_copy enabled, for example:

mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l6 -n6 -R -f /dev/loop[0-3] missing missing
echo 1 > /sys/block/md0/md/skip_copy
fio --filename=/dev/md0 --rw=randrw --bs=4k --numjobs=8 \
--iodepth=32 --size=4M --runtime=30 --time_based --direct=1

Fix by checking R5_LOCKED before proceeding with the compute. The
compute will be retried once the lock is cleared on IO completion.
