Once the RAID0 layout has been set, the RAID0 array cannot be assembled

This is an intentional safety feature, but sometimes people need the
ability to roll-back to a previously working configuration.

So add "--update=layout-unspecified" to remove RAID0 layout information
from the superblock.
Running "--assemble --update=layout-unspecified" will cause the assembly
the fail when run on a newer kernel, but will allow it to work on
an older kernel.

Applied!
