md: Relax checks on ->max_disks when external metadata handling is used.
When metadata is being managed by user-space, md doesn't know what the maximum number of devices allowed in an array is so ->max_disks is 0. In this case we should allow any (+ve) number of disks. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
