Subject: [PATCH v5 13/16] md/raid1: add error message when setting MD_BROKEN

Once MD_BROKEN is set on an array, no further writes can be performed.
The user must be informed that the array cannot continue operation.

Add error logging when MD_BROKEN flag is set on raid1 arrays to improve
debugging and system administration visibility.
