Hi,

Since there is already a checking cnt != mddev->raid_disks, it doesn't make
sense to introduce redundant checking. Please move the checking forward to
fix the problem.

Please add a fix tag.

And change log should not be placed in commit message. Just move them here, and they
will be dropped when I apply the patch.
