While reshaping, report mdstat algorithm according to the new_layout.

It's not immediately clear to me why this is needed?  The md/layout
attribute in sysfs shows the new_layout during reshape if userspace
forgets what it changed (should also be recorded in the metadata).  If
it is needed then spell that out in the commit message.
