In a case of successful completion of a resync (in the last step) - read_and_act sometimes still reads sync_action as "resync" but sync_completed already is set to component_size. When this race occurs, sync operation is marked as finished, but last_checkpoint is overwritten with sync_completed. It will cause next sync operation (ie. reshape) to be reported as complete immediately after start - mdmon will write successful completion of the reshape to metadata. This patch sets last_checkpoint to 0 once the sync is completed to stop it happening.
