If any memory allocation in resize_stripes fails we will return
-ENOMEM, but in some cases we update conf->pool_size anyway.
This means that if we try again, the allocations will be assumed
to be larger than they are, and badness results.
So only update pool_size if there is no error.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.17 and the patch is suitable for
-stable.
Fixes: ad01c9e3752f ("[PATCH] md: Allow stripes to be expanded in preparation for expanding an array")
