md: add feature flag MD_FEATURE_RAID0_LAYOUT
[ Upstream commit 33f2c35a54dfd75ad0e7e86918dcbe4de799a56c ]
Due to a bug introduced in Linux 3.14 we cannot determine the
correctly layout for a multi-zone RAID0 array - there are two
possibilities.
It is possible to tell the kernel which to chose using a module
parameter, but this can be clumsy to use. It would be best if
the choice were recorded in the metadata.
So add a feature flag for this purpose.
If it is set, then the 'layout' field of the superblock is used
to determine which layout to use.
If this flag is not set, then mddev->layout gets set to -1,
which causes the module parameter to be required.
