[PATCH] md: skip redundant raid_disks update when value is unchanged

[Abd-Alrhman Masalkhi <abd.masalkhi@gmail.com>]

Calling update_raid_disks() with the same value as the current one
can trigger unnecessary work. For example, RAID1 will reallocate
resources such as the mempool for r1bio.

It returns -EINVAL for the same value. If silent success is preferred
instead, please let me know so I adjust its behavior.
