    md: Allow metadata_version to be updated for externally managed metadata. · ea43ddd8
    NeilBrown authored
    For externally managed metadata, the 'metadata_version' sysfs
    attribute is really just a channel for user-space programs to
    communicate about how the array is being managed.
    It can be useful for this to be changed while the array is active.
    
    Normally changes to metadata_version are not permitted while the array
    is active.  Change that so that if the metadata is externally managed,
    the metadata_version can be changed to a different flavour of external
    management.
