    md/raid5: prepare for allowing reshape to change chunksize. · 784052ec
    NeilBrown authored
    Add "prev_chunk" to raid5_conf_t, similar to "previous_raid_disks", to
    remember what the chunk size was before the reshape that is currently
    underway.
    
    This seems like duplication with "chunk_size" and "new_chunk" in
    mddev_t, and to some extent it is, but there are differences.
    The values in mddev_t are always defined and often the same.
    The prev* values are only defined if a reshape is underway.
    
    Also (and more significantly) the raid5_conf_t values will be changed
    at the same time (inside an appropriate lock) that the reshape is
    started by setting reshape_position.  In contrast, the new_chunk value
    is set when the sysfs file is written which could be well before the
    reshape starts.
