Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md

* 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
  md/raid5: don't include 'spare' drives when reshaping to fewer devices.
  md/raid5: add a missing 'continue' in a loop.
  md/raid5: Allow recovered part of partially recovered devices to be in-sync
  md/raid5: More careful check for "has array failed".
  md: Don't update ->recovery_offset when reshaping an array to fewer devices.
  md/raid5: avoid oops when number of devices is reduced then increased.
  md: enable raid4->raid0 takeover
  md: clear layout after ->raid0 takeover
  md: fix raid10 takeover: use new_layout for setup_conf
  md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices.
  md: raid10: Fix null pointer dereference in fix_read_error()
  Restore partition detection of newly created md arrays.
