Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"

This reverts commit 5b479c91da.

Quoth Neil Brown:

  "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't
   seem easy to fix.

   The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so
   bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops.

   This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been
   assembled just seems to get more and more painful.  I think I'm going
   to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward
   comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the
   rest of the kernel."
