[patch 198/198] md: remove a number of misleading calls to MD_BUG

[akpm]

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>

The conditions that cause these calls to MD_BUG are not kernel bugs, just
oddities in what userspace is asking for.

Also convert analyze_sbs to return void, and the value it returned was
always 0.

I would like to give you the Longest Patch on LKML Ever Award, for this 198
