NeilBrown af5628f05d md: disable probing for md devices 512 and over.
The way md devices are traditionally created in the kernel
is simply to open the device with the desired major/minor number.

This can be problematic as some support tools, notably udev and
programs run by udev, can open a device just to see what is there, and
find that it has created something.  It is easy for a race to cause
udev to open an md device just after it was destroy, causing it to
suddenly re-appear.

For some time we have had an alternate way to create md devices
  echo md_somename > /sys/modules/md_mod/paramaters/new_array

This will always use a minor number of 512 or higher, which mdadm
normally avoids.
Using this makes the creation-by-opening unnecessary, but does
not disable it, so it is still there to cause problems.

This patch disable probing for devices with a major of 9 (MD_MAJOR)
and a minor of 512 and up.  This devices created by writing to
new_array cannot be re-created by opening the node in /dev.
