[PATCH] md - 13 of 14 - Remove dependance on MD_SB_DISKS in linear personality

### Comments for ChangeSet

Linear uses one array sized by MD_SB_DISKS inside a structure.
We move it to the end of the structure, declare it as size 0,
and arrange for approprate extra space to be allocated on
structure allocation.
