THe md-linear is removed by commit 849d18e27b ("md: Remove deprecated
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR") because it has been marked as deprecated for a long
time.
However, md-linear is used widely for underlying disks with different size,
sadly we didn't know this until now, and it's true useful to create
partitions and assemble multiple raid and then append one to the other.
People have to use dm-linear in this case now, however, they will prefer
to minimize the number of involved modules.

mddev_create/destroy_serial_pool() will be called from several places
where mddev_suspend() will be called later.
Prepare to remove the mddev_suspend() from
mddev_create/destroy_serial_pool().

name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear
it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad
calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of
errors. Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear,
and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be
parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was
no device found for it.
Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block
root cases are always covered in the caller.

Two callers of md_alloc want to use the newly allocated devices, so
return it instead of letting them find it cumbersomely after the
allocation.

Boot-time assembly of arrays with md= command-line arguments breaks when
CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD is unset. md_setup_drive() in md-autodetect.c
calls blkdev_get_by_dev(), assuming this implicitly creates the block
device.
Fix this by attempting to md_alloc() the array first. As in the probe path,
ignore any error as failure is caught by blkdev_get_by_dev() anyway.

md_setup_drive knows it works with md devices, so it is rather pointless
to open a file descriptor and issue ioctls. Just call directly into the
relevant low-level md routines after getting a handle to the device using
blkdev_get_by_dev instead.
