    md: fix regression with re-adding devices to arrays with no metadata · bf572541
    NeilBrown authored
    Commit 1a855a06 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were
    re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less
    common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they
    should be.
    
    In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata
    we should always access the device, but after the above commit we
    didn't.
    
    This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add
    succeeds.
    
    This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a06 was
    applied.
