Heinz Mauelshagen affa9d28f7 dm raid: don't allow "write behind" with raid4/5/6
Remove CTR_FLAG_MAX_WRITE_BEHIND from raid4/5/6's valid ctr flags.

Only the md raid1 personality supports setting a maximum number
of "write behind" write IOs on any legs set to "write mostly".
"write mostly" enhances throughput with slow links/disks.

Technically the "write behind" value is a write intent bitmap
property only being respected by the raid1 personality.  It allows a
maximum number of "write behind" writes to any "write mostly" raid1
mirror legs to be delayed and avoids reads from such legs.

No other MD personalities supported via dm-raid make use of "write
behind", thus setting this property is superfluous; it wouldn't cause
harm but it is correct to reject it.
