[PATCH] md: allow hot-adding devices to arrays with non-persistant superblocks.
It is possibly (and occasionally useful) to have a raid1 without persistent superblocks. The code in add_new_disk for adding a device to such an array always tries to read a superblock. This will obviously fail. So do the appropriate test and call md_import_device with appropriate args.
