md: support 'external' metadata for md arrays
- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be left of user-space to handle. Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata - after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute. - move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if there are any superblocks or not. - New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue. This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state attribute. - tidy up marking of sb_dirty: - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway. - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty. - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to update the superblock whenever it chooses to).
