Upon assembling the array, both kernel and mdadm allow the devices to have event
counter difference of 1, and still consider them as up-to-date.
However, a device whose event count is behind by 1, may in fact not be up-to-date,
and array resync with such a device may cause data corruption.
To avoid this, consult the superblock of the freshest device about the status
of a device, whose event counter is behind by 1.
