md: Add new_level sysfs interface

Browse source

Now reshape supports two ways: with backup file or without backup file.
For the situation without backup file, it needs to change data offset.
It doesn't need systemd service mdadm-grow-continue. So it can finish
the reshape job in one process environment. It can know the new level
from mdadm --grow command and can change to new level after reshape
finishes.

For the situation with backup file, it needs systemd service
mdadm-grow-continue to monitor reshape progress. So there are two process
envolved. One is mdadm --grow command whick kicks off reshape and wakes
up mdadm-grow-continue service. The second process is the service, which
doesn't know the new level from the first process.

In kernel space mddev->new_level is used to record the new level when
doing reshape. This patch adds a new interface to help mdadm update
new_level and sync it to metadata. Then mdadm-grow-continue can read the
right new_level.
