4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 011abdc9df559ec75779bb7c53a744c69b2a94c6 upstream.
If "re-add" is written to the "state" file for a device which is faulty, this has an effect similar to removing and re-adding the device. It should take up the same slot in the array that it previously had, and an accelerated (e.g. bitmap-based) rebuild should happen.
The slot that "it previously had" is determined by rdev->saved_raid_disk. However this is not set when a device fails (only when a device is added), and it is cleared when resync completes. This means that "re-add" will normally work once, but may not work a second time.
This patch includes two fixes. 1/ when a device fails, record the ->raid_disk value in ->saved_raid_disk before clearing ->raid_disk 2/ when "re-add" is written to a device for which ->saved_raid_disk is not set, fail.
I think this is suitable for stable as it can cause re-adding a device to be forced to do a full resync which takes a lot longer and so puts data at more risk.
