An error always aborts any resync/recovery/reshape on the understanding that
it will immediately be restarted if that still makes sense.  However a reshape
currently doesn't get restarted.  With this patch it does.

To avoid restarting when it is not possible to do work, we call into the
personality to check that a reshape is ok, and strengthen raid5_check_reshape
to fail if there are too many failed devices.

We also break some code out into a separate function: remove_and_add_spares as
the indent level for that code was getting crazy.
