[PATCH md 002 of 2] Allow md arrays to be started read-only (module parameter).

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

When an md array is started, the superblock will be written,
and resync may commense.  This is not good if you want to be
completely read-only as, for example, when preparing to resume
from a suspend-to-disk image.

So introduce a module parameter "start_ro" which can be set
to '1' at boot, at module load, or via 
  /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/start_ro

When this is set, new arrays get an 'auto-ro' mode, which disables all
internal io (superblock updates, resync, recovery) and is automatically
switched to 'rw' when the first write request arrives.

The array can be set to true 'ro' mode using 'mdadm -r' before
the first write request, or resync can be started without a
write using 'mdadm -w'.
