md/raid6: remove expectation that Q device is immediately after P device.

Code currently assumes that the devices in a raid6 stripe are
  0 1 ... N-1 P Q
in some rotated order.  We will shortly add new layouts in which
this strict pattern is broken.
So remove this expectation.  We still assume that the data disks
are roughly in-order.  However P and Q can be inserted anywhere within
that order.
