At first, my colleague met this problem during power off and reboot test, however
I can't reproduce this, after adding some debug info, I'm quite sure this is still
an mdadm issue, that somewhere write llbitmap to sysfs bitmap_type file is missing.

Also, this way can be check as well if this patch works.
