When MD_CHANGE_CLEAN is set we might block in md_write_start. So we should only set it when fairly sure that something will clear it. There are two places where it is set so as to encourage a metadata update to record the progress of resync/recovery. This should only be done if the internal metadata update mechanisms are in use, which can be tested by by inspecting '->persistent'.
