Subject: [PATCH] Grow: Remove unnecessary optimization
Git-commit: 758b327cf5a7aab50ae5c70ecbc371dc4f715bb6
Patch-mainline: mdadm-4.0+
References: FATE#325143

Per explanation by Neil, this optimization of writing "size" to the

the size change isn't permitted until the array has been shrunk, so
this will fail anyway.

This effectively reverts 65a9798b58b4e4de0157043e2b30a738c27eff43
