Commit 6607cd319b6b91bff94e90f798a61c031650b514 ("raid1: ensure write
behind bio has less than BIO_MAX_VECS sectors") tried to guarantee the
size of behind bio is not bigger than BIO_MAX_VECS sectors.

Unfortunately the same calltrace still could happen since an array could
enable write-behind without write mostly device.

To match the manpage of mdadm (which says "write-behind is only attempted
on drives marked as write-mostly"), we need to check WriteMostly flag to
avoid such unexpected behavior.
