    Don't try to make md arrays dirty if that is not meaningful. · 1a0fd497

    Arrays personalities such as 'raid0' and 'linear' have no redundancy,
    and so marking them as 'clean' or 'dirty' is not meaningful.
    So always allow write requests without requiring a superblock update.
    
    Such arrays types are detected by ->sync_request being NULL.  If it is
    not possible to send a sync request we don't need a 'dirty' flag because
    all a dirty flag does is trigger some sync_requests.
