[PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmaps
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.
It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.
This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.
