NeilBrown 9d4b45d6af md: don't report active array_state until after revalidate_disk() completes.
Until revalidate_disk() has completed, the size of a new md array will
appear to be zero.
So we shouldn't report, through array_state, that the array is active
until that time.
udev rules check array_state to see if the array is ready.  As soon as
it appear to be zero, fsck can be run.  If it find the size to be
zero, it will fail.

So add a new flag to provide an interlock between do_md_run() and
array_state_show().  This flag is set while do_md_run() is active and
it prevents array_state_show() from reporting that the array is
active.

Before do_md_run() is called, ->pers will be NULL so array is
definitely not active.
After do_md_run() is called, revalidate_disk() will have run and the
array will be completely ready.

We also move various sysfs_notify*() calls out of md_run() into
do_md_run() after MD_NOT_READY is cleared.  This ensure the
information is ready before the notification is sent.

Prior to v4.12, array_state_show() was called with the
mddev->reconfig_mutex held, which provided exclusion with do_md_run().

Note that MD_NOT_READY cleared twice.  This is deliberate to cover
both success and error paths with minimal noise.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
