md: Whenassemble the array, consult the superblock of the freshest device

mainline inclusion

commit dc1cc22ed58f11d58d8553c5ec5f11cbfc3e3039
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8T02O

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=dc1cc22ed58f11d58d8553c5ec5f11cbfc3e3039



--------------------------------

Upon assembling the array, both kernel and mdadm allow the devices to have event
counter difference of 1, and still consider them as up-to-date.
However, a device whose event count is behind by 1, may in fact not be up-to-date,
and array resync with such a device may cause data corruption.
To avoid this, consult the superblock of the freshest device about the status
of a device, whose event counter is behind by 1.
