No. Just use another way to fix [2], and both [2] and this patch can fix
the issue. I am not sure about the root cause of [1] yet.

We need to modify the kernel, add sleep in md_submit_bio() and md_ioctl()
as below, and then:
1. mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/sd[bc] #create a raid
2. echo 1 > /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/error_inject #enable sleep
3. 'mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda' #add a disk to raid
4. submit ioctl BLKRRPART to raid within 10s.
