[PATCH] mdadm: Linux 3.x version change

As Linux 3.x changes its versioning scheme, we have to deal with
the 2-digit version number also.

FYI: we have patch below currently in Fedora rawhide
(which already switched to 3.0-rc numbering scheme).

Without it is system unable to assembly RAID during boot
("mdadm -As --auto=yes --run" fails because of wrong version detected).

It seems that 3.2.2 still have the same problem.

Bother - I always seem to miss something :-(

I have added the following (which is different yet again) to git.

According to https://lwn.net/Articles/447572/ it seems it isn't yet 100%
certain that the next version will be 3.0 rather than 3.0.0.... So I might
not need to push out a new version too quickly.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Subject: [PATCH] util: correctly parse shorter linux version numbers.

The next version of Linux might be 3.0. If it is, get_linux_version
will fail.
So make it more robust.

I don't know what mdadm uses the version number for, but Linus Torvalds
has had a rant about this sort of thing:
