Subject: [PATCH 263/359] super1: Clear memory allocated for superblock +
 bitmap before use
References: bsc#1081910

load_super1() did not clear memory allocated for the superblock +
bitmap. This causes issues if the superblock does not contain a bitmap
as later checks of bitmap features would rely on the bits being
cleared.

This bug has been around for a long time, but was only exposed in
mdadm-3.4 with the introduction of the clustering code.
