Patch adds to mdadm man the following information:
--continue
This option is complementary pair to assembly --freeze-reshape option.
It is needed when --grow operation is interrupted and it is not restarted
automatically due to --freeze-reshape usage during array assembly.
Option --continue has to be used together with -G , ( --grow ) command
and device that it should be executed on. All parameters required for
reshape continuation will be read from array metadata. If initial
--grow command had required --backup-file= option to be set,
continuation option will require to have exactly the same backup
file pointed to also.
Any other parameter passed together with --continue option will be ignored.

The file must be stored on a separate device, not on the RAID array
being reshaped.
