Subject: [PATCH 010 of 29] md: Enable setting of 'offset' and 'size' of a hot-added spare.

offset_store and rdev_size_store allow control of the region of a
device which is to be using in an md/raid array.
They only allow these values to be set when an array is being assembled,
as changing them on an active array could be dangerous.
However when adding a spare device to an array, we might need to
set the offset and size before starting recovery.  So allow
these values to be set also if "->raid_disk < 0" which indicates that
the device is still a spare.
