[PATCH 003 of 6] md: Move warning about creating a raid array on partitions of the one device.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

md tries to warn the user if they e.g. create a raid1 using two partitions
of the same device, as this does not provide true redundancy.

However it also warns if a raid0 is created like this, and there is
nothing wrong with that.

At the place where the warning is currently printer, we don't necessarily
know what level the array will be, so move the warning from the point
where the device is added to the point where the array is started.
