[PATCH] mapfile: fix relative devname resolution in resolve_md_path

["Milan P. Gandhi" <mgandhi@redhat.com>]

When an array is defined in mdadm.conf using a relative device name
(e.g., 'ARRAY customalias UUID=...'), resolve_md_path() fails to resolve
it under DEV_MD_DIR during mapfile reconstruction.

The outer condition:
    if (match && match->devname && match->devname[0] == '/')
requires the configured devname to start with '/', rendering the nested
relative path handling unreachable:
    if (path[0] != '/') {
        strcpy(namebuf, DEV_MD_DIR);
        strcat(namebuf, path);
        path = namebuf;
    }

Consequently, commands that rebuild the runtime map (such as 'mdadm
--incremental --rebuild-map') bypass the configured relative alias and
fall back to the superblock's metadata name, creating an inconsistency
with assemble-time symlink creation.

Drop the redundant 'match->devname[0] == '/'' check from the outer
conditional so relative device names configured in mdadm.conf reach the
nested block, receive the DEV_MD_DIR prefix, and resolve to
/dev/md/<name>.

Test reproduction (RAID1 created with metadata name 'origarray',
mdadm.conf configured with 'ARRAY customalias UUID=<UUID>'):

    # rm -f /run/mdadm/map /dev/md/customalias

    Before patch (unpatched mdadm):
    # mdadm --incremental --rebuild-map --config=/tmp/test_mdadm.conf
    # cat /run/mdadm/map
    md99 1.2 fb1db62a:62817869:f8c2ab3f:f422a06d /dev/md/origarray

    After patch (patched mdadm):
    # ./mdadm --incremental --rebuild-map --config=/tmp/test_mdadm.conf
    # cat /run/mdadm/map
    md99 1.2 55f91d31:c1cc4a13:a18b124d:a8b77987 /dev/md/customalias

Fixes: 360b463696e8 ("mapfile - when rebuilding, choose an appropriate name is none is found.")
