    md: allow re-add to failed arrays. · dc10c643
    NeilBrown authored
    When an array is failed (some data inaccessible) then there is no
    point attempting to add a spare as it could not possibly be recovered.
    
    However that may be value in re-adding a recently removed device.
    e.g. if there is a write-intent-bitmap and it is clear, then access
    to the data could be restored by this action.
    
    So don't reject a re-add to a failed array for RAID10 and RAID5 (the
    only arrays  types that check for a failed array).
