Subject: [PATCH 006 of 10] md: Notify userspace on 'write-pending' changes to array_state


When an array enters write pending, 'array_state' changes, so we
must be sure to sysfs_notify.

Also, when waiting for user-space to acknowledge 'write-pending' by
marking the metadata as dirty, we don't want to wait for
MD_CHANGE_DEVS to be cleared as that might not happen.  So explicity
test for the bits that we are really interested in.
