md: don't call md_allow_write in get_bitmap_file.
There is no really need as GFP_NOIO is very likely sufficient, and failure is not catastrophic. Calling md_allow_write here will convert a read-auto array to read/write which could be confusing when you are just performing a read operation. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
