From: David Favro <dfavro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
For 1.x metadata, when the user requested creation of an array on
component devices that were too small even to hold the superblock,
an undetected integer wraparound (underflow) resulted in an enormous
computed size which resulted in various follow-on errors such as
floating-point exception.
This patch detects this condition, prints a reasonable diagnostic
message, and refuses to continue.
