Mdadm expects that setting drive as faulty will fail with -EBUSY only if
this operation will cause RAID to be failed. If this happens, it will
try to stop the array. Currently -EBUSY might also be returned if rdev
is in the middle of the removal process - for example there is a race
with mdmon that already requested the drive to be failed/removed.
If rdev does not contain mddev, return -ENODEV instead, so the caller
can distinguish between those two cases and behave accordingly.
