If md kernel module is reloaded, /proc/mdstat cannot be accessed ("cat:
/proc/mdstat: No such file or directory"). The reason is mdadm monitor
still holds a file descriptor to previous /proc/mdstat instance. It
leads to really confusing outcome of the following operations - mdadm
seems to run without errors, however some udev rules don't get executed
and new array doesn't work.
Add a check if lseek was successful as it fails if md kernel module has
been unloaded - close a file descriptor then. The problem is mdadm
monitor doesn't always do it before next operation takes place. To
prevent it monitor always releases /proc/mdstat descriptor when there
are no arrays to be monitored, just in case driver unload happens in a
moment.
