The problem occurs when RAID10 array under rebuild
(after one disk fails) is assembled incrementally.
Mdadm tries to start array just after adding the third disk
and the volume is assembled incorrectly (in degraded state).

The cause is that container_enough depends on
newly missing disks which are checked incorrectly now.
They should be checked using always the first map.

This looks wrong.  I noticed this when looking over Przemyslaw's patch [1].

map[0] always contains the destination state of the migration so the
most reliable source for looking for out of sync disks is map[1].
I am convinced that the patch is good. 
We are looking for information what was the state of array during migration (before it was stopped), so we have to use map[0].
map[1] contains information about the state of array before migration, which we do not need.

Lukasz
