[PATCH] md: Remove attempt to use dynamic names in sysfs for component devices on an MD array.
With version-0.90 superblock, component devices on an md device to not have any stable name related to the array -(version-1 assigns a fixed index when a device is added to an array, and this remains despit any hot-swap). The intial code for making these devices appear in sysfs used dynamic names, which would change whenever a hot-spare was swapped for a failed or missing device. This turns out not to be practical in sysfs for a number of reasons. This patch changes then naming of component devices to be based on the result of 'bdevname'. This is stable and should be unique.
