For external metadata cases, information about number of spares cannot be get via ioctl GET_ARRAY_INFO for particular array (as info variable is initialized by). In md this information is present in container object not array one. This causes need to get spare disks number from external metadata. This information is required for reshape_array() function to decide if spare disks number satisfy operation requirements.
