When add a new disk to raid10, it will traverse conf->mirror from start
and find one of the following mirror to add:
   1. mirror->rdev is set to WantReplacement and it have no replacement,
      set new disk to mirror->replacement.
   2. no mirror->rdev, set new disk to mirror->rdev.

There is a array as below (sda is set to WantReplacement):

     Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
        0       8        0        0      active sync set-A   /dev/sda
        -       0        0        1      removed
        2       8       32        2      active sync set-A   /dev/sdc
        3       8       48        3      active sync set-B   /dev/sdd

Use 'mdadm --add' to add a new disk to this array, the new disk will
become sda's replacement instead of add to removed position, which is
confusing for users. Meanwhile, after new disk recovery success, sda
will be set to Faulty.

Prioritize adding disk to 'removed' mirror is a better choice. In the
above scenario, the behavior is the same as before, except sda will not
be deleted. Before other disks are added, continued use sda is more
reliable.


I think this change make sense, however, it's better to do this for all
personality instead of just for raid10.

Thanks,
Kuai

raid5 is currently like this. If others are OK with this changes to raid10, I will modify raid1 later.
