Code in manager can now just call queue_metadata_update with a
(freeable) buf holding the update, and it will get passed to the
monitor and written out.
"sync_complete" just tracks the current resync/recover/check/whatever pass.
"resync_start" tracks which parts of the array are known to be in-sync
(modulo active writes). So it is what we need to use to update the metadata.
Also we cannot call it when the array has stopped, as the value is no longer
available then. We must call it when the resync completes.
Possibly also call it preiodically if the array is quiescent.
mark_dirty is just a special case of mark_clean - with sync_pos == 0.
mark_sync is not required. We don't modify the metadata when sync
finishes. Only when the array becomes non-writeable at which point we
use mark_clean to record how far the resync progressed.

Each md_message encapsulates a single command. A command includes an 'action'
member which describes what if any data comes after the action. Communication
with the monitor involves updating the active_cmd pointer and then writing to
mgr_pipe. Pass/fail status is returned via mon_pipe.

Added curr_state as a parameter to set_disk. Handlers look at this to
record components failures, and set global 'degraded' or 'failed'
status.
When reading the state as faulty:
1/ mark the disk failed in the metadata
2/ write '-blocked' to the rdev state to allow the kernel's failure
mechanism to advance
3/ the kernel will take away the drive's role in remove_and_add_spares()
4/ once the disk no longer has a role writing 'remove' to the rdev state
will get the disk out of array.
There is a window after writing '-blocked' where the kernel will return
-EBUSY to remove requests. We rely on the fact that the disk will
continue to show faulty so we lazily wait until the kernel is ready to
remove the disk. If the manager thread needs to get the disk out of the
way it can ping the monitor and wait, just like the replace_array()
case.
[buglet fix: swap the parameters of attr_match in read_dev_state]

If they are later reassembled they will be replaced and deallocated
via replace_array.

mdadm handles setting resync_start, monitor uses this value to determine
whether to set the 'active' or 'readauto' state.
