The bitmap file has been marked as deprecated for more than a year now,
let's remove it, and we don't need to care about this case in the new
bitmap.

Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

What happens when an old array with bitmap file boots into a kernel
without bitmap file support?

If mdadm is used with bitmap file support, then kenel will just ignore
the bitmap, the same as none bitmap. Perhaps it's better to leave a
error message?

And if mdadm is updated, reassemble will fail.

Thanks,

Thanks,
