md: allow resync_start to be set while an array is active.

The sysfs attribute 'resync_start' (known internally as recovery_cp),
records where a resync is up to.  A value of 0 means the array is
not known to be in-sync at all.  A value of MaxSector means the array
is believed to be fully in-sync.

When the size of member devices of an array (RAID1,RAID4/5/6) is
increased, the array can be increased to match.  This process sets
resync_start to the old end-of-device offset so that the new part of
the array gets resynced.

However with RAID1 (and RAID6) a resync is not technically necessary
and may be undesirable.  So it would be good if the implied resync
after the array is resized could be avoided.

So: change 'resync_start' so the value can be changed while the array
is active, and as a precaution only allow it to be changed while
resync/recovery is 'frozen'.  Changing it once resync has started is
not going to be useful anyway.

This allows the array to be resized without a resync by:
  write 'frozen' to 'sync_action'
  write new size to 'component_size' (this will set resync_start)
  write 'none' to 'resync_start'
  write 'idle' to 'sync_action'.

Also slightly improve some tests on recovery_cp when resizing
raid1/raid5.  Now that an arbitrary value could be set we should be
more careful in our tests.
