md: remove CONFIG_MD_RAID_RESHAPE config option.
This was only needed when the code was experimental. Most of it is well tested now, so the option is no longer useful. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

159 ---help---
160 A RAID-5 set can be expanded by adding extra drives. This
161 requires "restriping" the array which means (almost) every
162 block must be written to a different place.
163
164 This option allows such restriping to be done while the array
165 is online.
166
167 You will need mdadm version 2.4.1 or later to use this
168 feature safely. During the early stage of reshape there is
169 a critical section where live data is being over-written. A
170 crash during this time needs extra care for recovery. The
171 newer mdadm takes a copy of the data in the critical section
172 and will restore it, if necessary, after a crash.
173
174 The mdadm usage is e.g.
175 mdadm --grow /dev/md1 --raid-disks=6
176 to grow '/dev/md1' to having 6 disks.
177
178 Note: The array can only be expanded, not contracted.
179 There should be enough spares already present to make the new
180 array workable.
