md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap.
When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this can sometimes fail. Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call to write_page. This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for -stable. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
