Subject: [PATCH] mdadm: Don't open md device for CREATE and ASSEMBLE

The mdadm command tries to open the md device for most modes, first
thing, no matter what. When running to create or assemble an array,
in most cases, the md device will not exist, the open call will fail
and everything will proceed correctly.

However, when running tests, a create or assembly command may be run
shortly after stopping an array and the old md device file may still
be around. Then, if create_on_open is set in the kernel, a new md
device will be created when mdadm does its initial open.

When mdadm gets around to creating the new device with the new_array
parameter it issues this error:

mdadm: Fail to create md0 when using
   /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array, fallback to creation via node

This is because an mddev was already created by the kernel with the
earlier open() call and thus the new one being created will fail with
EEXIST. The mdadm command will still successfully be created due to
falling back to the node creation method. However, the error message
itself will fail any test that's running it.

This issue is a race condition that is very rare, but a recent change
in the kernel caused this to happen more frequently: about 1 in 50
times.

To fix this, don't bother trying to open the md device for CREATE,
ASSEMBLE and BUILD commands, as the file descriptor will never be used
anyway even if it is successfully openned. The mdfd has not been used
for these commands since:

7f91af49ad09 ("Delay creation of array devices for assemble/build/create")

The checks that were done on the open device can be changed to being
done with stat.

Side note: it would be nice to disable create_on_open as well to help
solve this, but it seems the work for this was never finished. By default,
mdadm will create using the old node interface when a name is specified
unless the user specifically puts names=yes in a config file, which
doesn't seem to be common or desirable to require this..
