When the 'last' device in a RAID1 or RAID10 reports an error, we do not mark it as failed. This would serve little purpose as there is no risk of losing data beyond that which is obviously lost (as there is with RAID5), and there could be other sectors on the device which are readable, and only readable from this device. This in general this maximises access to data. However the current implementation also stops an admin from removing the last device by direct action. This is rarely useful, but in many case is not harmful and can make automation easier by removing special cases. Also, if an attempt to write metadata fails the device must be marked as faulty, else an infinite loop will result, attempting to update the metadata on all non-faulty devices. So add 'fail_last_dev' member to 'struct mddev', then we can bypasses the 'last disk' checks for RAID1 and RAID10, and control the behavior per array by change sysfs node.
