md: reject a re-add request that cannot be honoured.
The 'add_new_disk' ioctl can be used to add a device either as a spare, or as an active disk that just needs to be resynced based on write-intent-bitmap information (re-add) Currently if a re-add is requested but fails we add as a spare instead. This makes it impossible for user-space to check for failure. So change to require that a re-add attempt will either succeed or completely fail. User-space can then decide what to do next.
