'safemode' relates to marking an array as 'clean' if there has been no write
traffic for a while (a couple of seconds), to reduce the chance of the array
being found dirty on reboot.

->safemode is set to '1' when there have been no write for a while, and it
gets set to '0' when the superblock is updates with the 'clean' flag set.

This requires a few fixes for 'external' metadata:
 - When an array is set to 'clean' via sysfs, 'safemode' must be cleared.
 - when we write to an array that has 'safemode' set (there must have been
        some delay in updating the metadata), we need to clear safemode.
 - Don't try to update external metadata in md_check_recovery for safemode
        transitions - it won't work.

Also, don't try to support "immediate safe mode" (safemode==2) for external
metadata, it cannot really work (the safemode timeout can be set very low if
this is really needed).
