Subject: [PATCH 049/359] Monitor: don't open md array that doesn't exist.
References: bsc#1081910

Opening a block-special-device for an array that doesn't
exist causes that array to be instantiated (as an empty array).
Races at array shutdown can cause the array to spontaneously
re-appear if some deamon notices a 'change' event and goes
to investigate.

Teach "mdadm --monitor" to avoid this race by checking the
"array_state" before opening the device.
