Subject: [PATCH] md: Fix a few problems with the interface (sysfs and ioctl) to md.

Following patch is suitable for 2.6.20.  It fixes some minor bugs that
need to be fix in order to use new functionality in mdadm-2.6.
Thanks,
NeilBrown


### Comments for Changeset

While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md...

- When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to 
  the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not
  update the superblock information - as we may not have
  read and processed it all properly yet.

- initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file
  will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is
  started.

- all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to
  sysfs files
- when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version,
  set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata.
- allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't
  been started yet.
