Two callers of md_alloc want to use the newly allocated devices, so
return it instead of letting them find it cumbersomely after the
allocation.

Boot-time assembly of arrays with md= command-line arguments breaks when
CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD is unset. md_setup_drive() in md-autodetect.c
calls blkdev_get_by_dev(), assuming this implicitly creates the block
device.
Fix this by attempting to md_alloc() the array first. As in the probe path,
ignore any error as failure is caught by blkdev_get_by_dev() anyway.

md_setup_drive knows it works with md devices, so it is rather pointless
to open a file descriptor and issue ioctls. Just call directly into the
relevant low-level md routines after getting a handle to the device using
blkdev_get_by_dev instead.

Move the loop over the possible arrays into the caller to remove a level
of indentation for the whole function.

devfs is long gone, and autoscan works just fine without this these days.

Instead of using a spcial RAID_AUTORUN ioctl that only exists for
non-modular builds and is only called from the early init code, just
call the actual function directly.

Just like the NFS and CIFS root code this better lives with the
driver it is tightly integrated with.
