DM RAID: Fix for "sync" directive ineffectiveness
There are two table arguments that can be given to a DM RAID target that control whether the array is forced to (re)synchronize or skip initialization: "sync" and "nosync". When "sync" is given, we set mddev->recovery_cp to 0 in order to cause the device to resynchronize. This is insufficient if there is a bitmap in use, because the array will simply look at the bitmap and see that there is no recovery necessary. The fix is to skip over the loading of the superblocks when "sync" is given, causing new superblocks to be written that will force the array to go through initialization (i.e. synchronization).
