3.11.10.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: NeilBrown <[email protected]> commit 0f62fb220aa4ebabe8547d3a9ce4a16d3c045f21 upstream. If an md array with externally managed metadata (e.g. DDF or IMSM) is in use, then we should not set safemode==2 at shutdown because: 1/ this is ineffective: user-space need to be involved in any 'safemode' handling, 2/ The safemode management code doesn't cope with safemode==2 on external metadata and md_check_recover enters an infinite loop. Even at shutdown, an infinite-looping process can be problematic, so this could cause shutdown to hang.
