md/raid10: fix the 'new' raid10 layout to work correctly.
In Linux 3.9 we introduce a new 'far' layout for RAID10 which was
supposed to rotate the replicas differently and so provide better
resilience. In particular it could survive more combinations of 2
drive failures.
Unfortunately. due to a coding error, this some did what was wanted,
sometimes improved less than we hoped, and sometimes - in very
unlikely circumstances - put multiple replicas on the same device so
the redundancy was harmed.
No public user-space tool has created arrays using this layout so it
is very unlikely that zero-redundancy arrays actually exist. Probably
no arrays using any form of the new layout exist. But we cannot be
certain.
So use another bit in the 'layout' number and introduce a bug-fixed
version of the layout.
Also when assembling an array, if it has a zero-redundancy layout,
give a warning.
