Subject[09/39] md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms
2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

commit cbd1998377504df005302ac90d49db72a48552a6 upstream.

evms configures md arrays by:
open device
send ioctl
close device

for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.

So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).

This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.
