-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>

While developing more functionality in mdadm I found some bugs in md...

- When we remove a device from an inactive array (write 'remove' to
the 'state' sysfs file - see 'state_store') would should not
update the superblock information - as we may not have
read and processed it all properly yet.

- initialise all raid_disk entries to '-1' else the 'slot sysfs file
will claim '0' for all devices in an array before the array is
started.

- all '\n' not to be present at the end of words written to
sysfs files
- when we use SET_ARRAY_INFO to set the md metadata version,
set the flag to say that there is persistant metadata.
- allow GET_BITMAP_FILE to be called on an array that hasn't
been started yet.
