Subject: [PATCH 4.4 071/118] md-cluster: make md-cluster also can work when compiled into kernel

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guoqing Jiang <gqjiang@...e.com>

commit 47a7b0d8888c04c9746812820b6e60553cc77bbc upstream.

The md-cluster is compiled as module by default,
if it is compiled by built-in way, then we can't
make md-cluster works.

[64782.630008] md/raid1:md127: active with 2 out of 2 mirrors
[64782.630528] md-cluster module not found.
[64782.630530] md127: Could not setup cluster service (-2)

Fixes: edb39c9 ("Introduce md_cluster_operations to handle cluster functions")
