Chen Cheng 601d3c21b2 md/raid1: protect head_position for read balance
KCSAN reports a data race between raid1_end_read_request() and
raid1_read_request().

The completion path updates conf->mirrors[disk].head_position in
update_head_pos() without a lock, while the read-balance heuristic reads
the same field locklessly in is_sequential() and choose_best_rdev().

KCSAN report:
