md: fix 'degraded' calculation when starting a reshape.

This code was written long ago when it was not possible to
reshape a degraded array.  Now it is so the current level of
degraded-ness needs to be taken in to account.  Also newly addded
devices should only reduce degradedness if they are deemed to be
in-sync.

In particular, if you convert a RAID5 to a RAID6, and increase the
number of devices at the same time, then the 5->6 conversion will
make the array degraded so the current code will produce a wrong
value for 'degraded' - "-1" to be precise.

If the reshape runs to completion end_reshape will calculate a correct
new value for 'degraded', but if a device fails during the reshape an
incorrect decision might be made based on the incorrect value of
"degraded".

This patch is suitable for 2.6.32-stable and if they are still open,
2.6.31-stable and 2.6.30-stable as well.
