        md: Allow devices to be re-added to a read-only array.
    
    allowed a bit more than just that.  It also allows devices to be added
    to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery.
    
    This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a
    subsequent release.
    
    More specifically:
     If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap
     based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions
     is a bitmap is present).
     If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as
     nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked
     by ->validate_super.  However there is no locking to ensure that there
     was no write.
    
    Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so
    patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.
