md/raid5: don't record new size if resize_stripes fails.
If any memory allocation in resize_stripes fails we will return -ENOMEM, but in some cases we update conf->pool_size anyway. This means that if we try again, the allocations will be assumed to be larger than they are, and badness results. So only update pool_size if there is no error. This bug was introduced in 2.6.17 and the patch is suitable for -stable. Fixes: ad01c9e3752f ("[PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an array") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v2.6.17+) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
