    md: integrate spares into array at earliest opportunity. · 93be75ff
    NeilBrown authored
    As v1.x metadata can record that a member of the array is
    not completely recovered, it make sense to record that a
    spare has become a regular member of the array at the earliest
    opportunity.
    So remove the tests on "recovery_offset > 0" in super_1_sync
    as they really aren't needed, and schedule a metadata update
    immediately after adding spares to a degraded array.
    
    This means that if a crash happens immediately after a recovery
    starts, the new device will be included in the array and recovery will
    continue from wherever it was up to.  Previously this didn't happen
    unless recovery was at least 1/16 of the way through.
