[PATCH] md: fix a few problems with the interface (sysfs and ioctl) to md

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.
