When a disk is added to array, the following path is called in mdadm.
Manage_subdevs -> sysfs_freeze_array
-> Manage_add
-> sysfs_set_str(&info, NULL, "sync_action","idle")
Then from kernel side, Manage_add invokes the path (add_new_disk ->
validate_super = super_1_validate) to set In_sync flag.
Since In_sync means "device is in_sync with rest of array", and the new
added disk need to resync thread to help the synchronization of data.
And md_reap_sync_thread would call spare_active to set In_sync for the
new added disk finally. So don't set In_sync if array is in frozen.
