md: allow reshape_position for md arrays to be set via sysfs

"reshape_position" records how much progress has been made on a "reshape"
(adding drives, changing layout or chunksize).

When it is set, the number of drives, layout and chunksize can have
two possible values, an old an a new.

So allow these different values to be visible, and allow both old and new to
be set: Set the old ones first, then the reshape_position, then the new
values.

This is either "none" or a sector number within the devices of

values differ, reading the attribute returns
