commit 6fb79233b050b4a3575f0e466ab04b5d301ac1de
Author: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

Allow creation of a RAID6 with a single missing device.
This did not work before as we couldn't mark it clean as there would
be some parity blocks out of sync, and raid6 will not assemble a
dirty degraded array.
So make such arrays doubly degraded (the last device becomes a spare)
and clean.
