Zeroout whole ppl space during creation/force assemble
PPL area should be cleared before creation/force assemble.
If the drive was used in other RAID array, it might contains PPL from it.
There is a risk that mdadm recognizes those PPLs and
refuses to assemble the RAID due to PPL conflict with created
array.
