[PATCH] managemon: Don't add disk to the array after it has started

[Tomasz Majchrzak]

If disk has disappeared from the system and appears again, it is added to the
corresponding container as long the metadata matches and disk number is set.
This code had no effect on imsm until commit 20dc76d15b40 ("imsm: Set disk slot
number"). Now the disk is added to container but not to the array - it is
correct as the disk is out-of-sync. Rebuild should start for the disk but it
doesn't. There is the same behaviour for both imsm and ddf metadata.

There is no point to handle out-of-sync disk as "good member of array" so
remove that part of code. There are no scenarios when monitor is already
running and disk can be safely added to the array. Just write initial metadata
to the disk so it's taken for rebuild.
