[PATCH] mdadm/md.4: set page-length as 1000 to avoid warnings from grotty

[Zhilong Liu]

"nroff" ("man") or ("tbl") needs a long page to avoid warnings
from "grotty", set 'pl' as 1000 to fix the following issue.

This command invokes by Makefile rule.
linux-tjrh:~/mdadm # man -l md.4 > test
grotty:<standard input> (<standard input>):5967:
character above first line discarded
... ...

I am not an nroff expert, so I'll take your word for it.

Applied!
