[PATCH] md: suppress spurious superblock update error message for dm-raid

[Chen Cheng]

dm-raid has external metadata management (mddev->external = 1) and
no persistent superblock (mddev->persistent = 0). For these arrays,
there's no superblock to update, so the error message is spurious.

The error appears as:
[  123.456789] md_update_sb: can't update sb for read-only array md0
