md: add feature flag MD_FEATURE_RAID0_LAYOUT
Due to a bug introduced in Linux 3.14 we cannot determine the correctly layout for a multi-zone RAID0 array - there are two possibilities. It is possible to tell the kernel which to chose using a module parameter, but this can be clumsy to use. It would be best if the choice were recorded in the metadata. So add a feature flag for this purpose. If it is set, then the 'layout' field of the superblock is used to determine which layout to use. If this flag is not set, then mddev->layout gets set to -1, which causes the module parameter to be required.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
