Subject: [PATCH] mdadm/r5cache: allow adding journal to array without journal
Git-commit: 3373d49f32b2bd8149f633727eba453708a9bf9c
Patch-mainline: mdadm-4.0+
References: bsc#1069165, bsc#1069167, bsc#1068030

Currently, --add-journal can be only used to recreate broken journal
for arrays with journal since  creation. As the kernel code getting
more mature, this constraint is no longer necessary.

This patch allows --add-journal to add journal to array without
journal.
