[PATCH] mdadm/mdopen: create new function create_named_array for writing to new_array

[Zhilong Liu <zlliu@suse.com>]

Split 'write to new_array' out into a function named create_named_array.
And fixed a trivial compiling warning 'warn_unused_result' against commit:
fdbf7aaa1956 (mdopen: call "modprobe md_mod" if it might be needed.)
