Song Liu 0bb0c10500 md/raid5: use consistency_policy to remove journal feature
When journal device of an array fails, the array is forced into read-only
mode. To make the array normal without adding another journal device, we
need to remove journal _feature_ from the array.

This patch allows remove journal _feature_ from an array, For journal
existing journal should be either missing or faulty.

To remove journal feature, it is necessary to remove the journal device
first:

  mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdb
  mdadm: set /dev/sdb faulty in /dev/md0
  mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sdb
  mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdb from /dev/md0

Then the journal feature can be removed by echoing into the sysfs file:

 cat /sys/block/md0/md/consistency_policy
 journal

 echo resync > /sys/block/md0/md/consistency_policy
 cat /sys/block/md0/md/consistency_policy
 resync
