[PATCH] md: optimise reconstruction when re-adding a recently failed drive.

When an array is degraded, bit in the intent-bitmap are never cleared.  So if
a recently failed drive is re-added, we only need to reconstruct the block
that are still reflected in the bitmap.

This patch adds support for this re-adding.
