There is a bug in udev (which will hopefully get fixed, but
we should allow for it anways).
When reading a sysfs attribute, it first reads the whole
value of the attribute, then reads again expecting to get
a read of 0 bytes, like you would with an ordinary file.
If the sysfs attribute changed between these two reads, it can
get a mixture of two values.
In particular, if it reads when 'array_state' is changing from
'clear' to 'inactive', it can find the value as "clear\nve".
This causes the test for "|clear|active" to fail, so systemd is allowed
to think that the array is ready - when it isn't.
So change the pattern to allow for this but adding a wildcard at
the end.
Also don't allow for an empty string - reading array_state will
never return an empty string - if it exists at all, it will be
non-empty.
