Subjectmd: remove the super sysfs attribute from devices in an md array
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

upstream commit: 0e82989d95cc46cc58622381eafa54f7428ee679

Exposing the binary blob which is the md 'super-block' via sysfs doesn't
really fit with the whole sysfs model, and ever since commit
8118a859dc7abd873193986c77a8d9bdb877adc8 ("sysfs: fix off-by-one error
in fill_read_buffer()") it doesn't actually work at all (as the size of
the blob is often one page).

(akpm: as in, fs/sysfs/file.c:fill_read_buffer() goes BUG)

So just remove it altogether. It isn't really useful.
