sync_metadata() requires st->sb to be loaded, otherwise exception is generated.
This fails expansion, because spares cannot be added.

metadata update uses tst instead st pointer, it is better than
loading anchor for st as I proposed previously.

Yes, this is better thanks.

'st' is only used to read the superblock of the new device to see if it is
already a member of the array and so a 're-add' is appropriate.
'tst' should be used whenever working on 'the whole array'.

I really should give these variables better names.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
