When update is created by mdadm, local information should be updated
also. This makes us to prepare one update for mdmon and second
"update" to maintain local changes. we can use prepared update for
"local/mdadm" metadata update purposes.
We have 2 cases:
1. when metadata is updated by mdmon, we avoid metadata reloading in
mdadm.
we proceed the same updtate 2 times:
- one time in mdadm for "local update"
- second time in mdmon for real metadat update
2. when metadata is updated by mdadm (no mdmon running) updates are
processed in the same way.
- one time in mdadm for "local update"
- there is no "second time" update but mdadm just flushes
metadata to array
This let us to avoid code duplication by using prepare and process
update functions as for update via mdmon. This makes update
preparing mdmon independent and there is no need to maintain the
same thing in 2 places in code.
