Bugzilla Bug 92974

When booting up, checkfs will attempt to start up all of the raid devices in
checkfs.

If a kernel is configured to automatically start all the software raid devices
this will cause the checkfs to fail.

Specifically, when "/sbin/raidstart /dev/md/0" is run by checkfs raidstart will
return and error... example:
beavis ~ # /sbin/raidstart /dev/md/0
/dev/md/0: already running
beavis ~ # echo $?
1
beavis ~ #

So even though all the software raid devices are working properly an error will
be thrown as /sbin/raidstart throws an error even if the raiddev is running.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure kernel to automatically start up raid (persistant raid software
devices)
2. create raid device with proper entries in /etc/raidtab
3. reboot

note: I have not tried using the mdadm tools.
Actual Results:  
Checkfs hangs machine and asks for root password to fix the problem - when no
problem exist.

Expected Results:  
booted as normal - all raid devices are working.
