md: don't return -EAGAIN in md_allow_write for external metadata arrays
This essentially reverts commit b5470dc5fc18 ("md: resolve external metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write") with some adjustments. Since commit 6791875e2e53 ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes to md sysfs files.") changing array_state to 'active' does not use mddev_lock() and will not cause a deadlock with md_allow_write(). This revert simplifies userspace tools that write to sysfs attributes like "stripe_cache_size" or "consistency_policy" because it removes the need for special handling for external metadata arrays, checking for EAGAIN and retrying the write.
