Verify that the cmd parameter passed to md_ioctl() is valid before
doing anything.
This fixes mddev->hold_active being set to 0 when an invalid ioctl
command is passed to md_ioctl() before the array has been configured.
Clearing mddev->hold_active in that case can lead to a livelock
situation when an invalid ioctl number is given to md_ioctl() by a
process when the mddev is currently being opened by another process:
Process 1 Process 2
--------- ---------
md_alloc()
mddev_find()
-> returns a new mddev with
hold_active == UNTIL_IOCTL
add_disk()
-> sends KOBJ_ADD uevent
(sees KOBJ_ADD uevent for device)
md_open()
md_ioctl(INVALID_IOCTL)
-> returns ENODEV and clears
mddev->hold_active
md_release()
md_put()
-> deletes the mddev as
hold_active is 0
md_open()
mddev_find()
-> returns a newly
allocated mddev with
mddev->gendisk == NULL
-> returns with ERESTARTSYS
(kernel restarts the open syscall)

A couple of notes:
This patch is based on linux 3.13-rc8.
The following MD ioctl constants are defined in md_u.h but not used
anywhere else, so are not accepted as valid ioctl commands:
CLEAR_ARRAY
SET_DISK_INFO
WRITE_RAID_INFO
UNPROTECT_ARRAY
PROTECT_ARRAY
